AST Transport provides full-service drainage repairs and maintenance to homeowners, house builders and the utilities industry. One contractor takes the job from diagnosis to a finished, tested repair.
Wherever possible we use no-dig methods such as patch repairs and pipe relining, which restore a pipe from the inside without excavation: less disruption, less reinstatement, lower cost.
What is included
- Drainage scheme consultation and design advice
- No-dig patch repairs and pipe relining
- Gravity sewer repairs
- Pressurised (rising main) sewer repairs
- Excavation, trenching and ditching
- Septic tank installation and maintenance
- Sewage treatment plant installation and maintenance
No-dig first
Modern no-dig methods fix cracks, root damage and displaced joints from inside the pipe: a resin-impregnated liner or localised patch is inserted through an existing access point and cured in place to form a new pipe within the old one.
Where a pipe has collapsed or lost its fall, we will tell you straight that excavation is the right answer, and carry it out with our own plant and crews.
Off-mains drainage
We install, maintain and repair septic tanks and package treatment plants, including drainage fields, pumps and rising mains. With our tanker fleet alongside, one company can look after the whole system for the life of the property.
Utilities and commercial
We work with estimators and engineers from utility companies, developers and facilities teams on gravity and pressurised sewer repairs, new connections and drainage schemes, with off-road units for sites a standard vehicle cannot reach.
Questions we get asked
Do you need to dig up my drive?
Often not. Many defects are repaired from inside the pipe with a patch or liner. We only recommend excavation where the pipe cannot be repaired in place.
Can you repair drains you did not survey?
Yes, although we usually run our own camera through first so the repair is based on a current picture of the pipe.
Do you install new septic tanks and treatment plants?
Yes, and we can empty them afterwards with our own tankers.
Do you work for house builders?
Yes. Developers use us for drainage schemes, connections, sign-off surveys and holding tanks during construction.
