Welcome to Homedrainage – Your Pitch Fibre Specialists
Pitch fibre pipe was widely installed in UK homes from the 1950s to the 1970s, and after decades underground it’s now a common cause of drainage problems. The material is prone to delamination, blistering and deformation, which restrict flow and can eventually lead to collapse if left unaddressed.
At Homedrainage, we start every pitch fibre job with a CCTV drain survey to confirm the pipe material and assess the extent of the damage. From there we recommend the most appropriate fix — no-dig relining or re-rounding to restore the pipe’s shape and structure, or full excavation and replacement where the damage is too severe to repair in place.
Our aim is to resolve the problem with as little disruption to your property as possible, using methods proven to give pitch fibre drains a long-lasting, reliable repair.
Understanding Pitch Fibre Pipes
Pitch fibre pipes, once popular in mid-20th century construction, are made from wood cellulose impregnated with coal tar pitch. While lightweight and cost-effective, they present unique challenges as they age.
Common Issues with Pitch Fibre Pipes:
- Deterioration: Over time, pitch fibre pipes can deteriorate, leading to structural weaknesses.
- Deformation: The pipes may deform, causing collapses or blockages.
- Leakage: Cracks and fractures can lead to water leakage.

New Forest Philosophy
As we have said Homedrainage is based in the New Forest. A great location in between the cities of Southampton, Salisbury and Bournemouth. We are a group of good friends who grew up together in the area. Individually we all have grown tired of the way other Drainage firms are run. As a result, this is why we set up Homeseptic & Homedrainage.
We want to actually put the customer first and turn up to do a great job that we can be proud of. Unfortunately, this is not the case in the market, with most companies pressuring their workers to sell unnecessary work on a visit. Due to this, we offer upfront quotations with any variations discussed before we start work.
We are honest hard hard-working professionals, which we hope you will agree with. As a result, it will certainly not turn up in flash sales vehicles and give you a load of chat and then do a terrible job. Our team will come with the job in mind and the aim of giving you the best value we can in order to facilitate a quality installation.
