What Are Pitch Fibre Drains and Why Are They a Problem?

Between the 1950s and 1970s, many UK homes were fitted with pitch fibre drainage pipes—a lightweight and low-cost alternative to traditional clay or concrete. These pipes were made from wood cellulose and bitumen (tar), which seemed efficient at the time. But decades later, property owners across Kingston Upon Thames are discovering serious problems with these ageing systems.

Common issues include:

  • Delamination – the internal layers start to peel away, causing flow restrictions.
  • Blistering and softening – heat or pressure weakens the structure.
  • Deformation – the pipes can become oval-shaped, reducing flow capacity.
  • Collapse – full structural failure, especially under driveways or extensions.
  • Root ingress – tree roots break into weakened joints, leading to blockages.

These issues can cause slow drainage, recurring blockages, foul smells, and even structural problems if left untreated.

Signs Your Property May Have Damaged Pitch Fibre Drains

Not sure if pitch fibre is the problem? Here are some telltale signs:

  • Persistent gurgling or slow drainage
  • Frequent blockages despite cleaning
  • Sinking ground or dips in driveways
  • Bad smells from manholes or pipe outlets
  • Your home was built between 1950–1980

If you’re noticing any of these issues, it’s time to arrange a professional inspection.

How Kingston Upon Thames Drains24 Can Help

At Drains24, we offer comprehensive drainage solutions tailored to ageing or defective pitch fibre systems — without the need for disruptive excavation.

🎥 CCTV Drain Inspections Kingston

Using advanced CCTV camera technology, we inspect your drains from the inside. This allows us to identify:

  • Pipe deformation or collapse
  • Root intrusion
  • Softened or blistered pitch fibre
  • Misaligned joints and sags

Our engineers provide a full written report, including video footage and clear recommendations.

🔧 CIPP Drain Lining (Cured-in-Place Pipe)

One of the most effective solutions for repairing pitch fibre drains is CIPP lining. This no-dig method allows us to reinforce and seal your existing pipework without the need for excavation.

Benefits of CIPP lining:

  • No digging or disruption
  • Reinforces weak or deformed pipe walls
  • Prevents further collapse or root ingress
  • Extends drain life by decades
  • Fast and cost-effective

Once installed, the new internal lining acts like a brand-new pipe, restoring flow and structural integrity.
