Sam and David from Ready Set Reline provided incredibly professional plumbing services at our home in East Lindfield. They do absolutely excellent work, and on top of that, they are genuinely nice guys! I will definitely be recommending them to all my friends on the North Shore.

Bill Huang

We hired Ryan and his team to reline several old clay sewer pipes at our Neutral Bay property, and their professionalism is unmatched. From their cutting-edge equipment to leaving the site spotless, every aspect of their service was first-rate. The most polite and efficient tradespeople we’ve ever used.

Phillip

We were impressed with the efficiency and professionalism apparent. Ryan, Wayne and Dave were polite, clean, and relational. The job was done with no hassles and quicker than expected. Great result.

Roger Phillips

Ready Set Reline came in with a competitive price, using industry leading products, with significant experience in relining. The job was completed exactly as scheduled, cleanup was good, and the guys were great at communicating throughout the process.

Richard Tucker

As a strata manager on the North Shore, communication is incredibly important. Ready Set Reline is a fantastic plumbing partner, they are highly reliable, always report back immediately, and constantly keep me in the loop on all property jobs. Highly recommended for strata plumbing maintenance.

Ace North Shore

Once onsite to conduct the relining work we were not disappointed. Throughly professional throughout, and a fantastic cleanup to boot. I would recommend Ryan and the team to anyone needing to reline a sewer or to carry out any plumbing work they may need.

Our own team, never a subcontractor

The reliner at your door is one of our own Roseville crew, usually less than twenty minutes from your street. You deal with the people doing the work, not a call centre and not a different operator each visit.

02

WaterMark approved for AS/NZS 3500

Every reline uses a WaterMark-approved liner system installed to the AS/NZS 3500 series and the Plumbing Code of Australia. Ryan trained on the Brawoliner system at the factory in Germany and still quotes every North Shore job himself.

03

Properly insured so your assets are protected

$20 million in public liability cover, well above the norm. That matters here, where the failed pipe is usually sitting under a sandstone path, an established garden or a shared strata driveway. No residential, strata or commercial job is off the table.

Pipe relining on the North Shore

What Goes Wrong With North Shore Drainage?

Nearly every drainage failure we see on the North Shore comes down to the same three things.

Old clay and earthenware pipe

Federation and interwar homes across the Lower North Shore still run on the original earthenware. Post-war brick houses through Roseville, Killara and Lindfield sit on 1950s clay. Both were laid in short lengths with mortared joints or rubber rings, and mortar does not survive seventy years underground.

Tree roots

The canopy that makes this part of Sydney worth living in is also what is breaking your drains. Moreton Bay figs, Jacaranda trees, brush box, liquidambars and turpentines all send roots metres down, and they find the damp air or sewer waste escaping a failed joint, work in through the gap, and then swell until the pipe splits. If your drain backs up every autumn and clears after a plumber visits, roots are the cause and jetting alone will not stop it coming back.

Ground movement

The North Shore sits on sandstone and shale. Ground shifts, pipe joints pull apart, and the misaligned section starts catching everything that passes through it.

What you notice first is usually a slow toilet, a gurgle in the shower when the washing machine drains, a patch of grass that stays green through summer, or a smell near the boundary. By the time it is a full blockage, the pipe has usually been failing for years.

The old fix was to dig it up. On a Ku-ring-gai or Willoughby block that means an excavator through the garden, sandstone paving lifted, a tree possibly lost, and weeks of reinstatement. Relining does the same repair without any of that.

Our Services

Pipe Relining Services on the North Shore

Most North Shore jobs are a clay sewer line under an established garden or a sandstone path, so everything we do is built around fixing the pipe without touching what is above it.

Trenchless Pipe Relining

Our core no-dig service. We rebuild cracked, leaking or root-damaged sewer and stormwater pipes from the inside with a resin liner cured in place, creating a jointless pipe up to four times stronger than PVC, most jobs finished in a single day with no excavation.

UV Pipe Relining

A glass-fibre liner cured with UV light for a fast, precise, high-strength result. Because it cures on demand rather than by time, UV relining is ideal for a controlled, clean install with minimal downtime.

Pipe Patch Relining

For a single crack or a short damaged section, we seal just the affected length instead of the whole line, a targeted, cost-effective repair with no digging, usually done in a few hours.

Satellite Junction Repair

Where a branch line meets the main, we repair cracked or leaking junctions and boundary traps using our 3 way satellite junction repair system, a specialist no-dig fix that seals the connection and locks tree roots out for good.

Robotic Cutting

Diamond-tipped robotic cutters grind out tree roots, concrete, grout and other obstructions, and reinstate junctions after relining. They navigate multiple bends through a single small access point, leaving a smooth interior ready to reline.

Drain Cleaning

High-pressure water jetting blasts away grease, silt, debris and tree roots to clear blocked drains and restore full flow, the essential first step before any reline, and a fast fix for everyday blockages.

CCTV Drain Inspection

A high-definition drain camera pinpoints the exact fault, its location and its cause, and you get the footage and an honest report. Perfect for diagnosing recurring blockages or checking a property’s pipes before you buy.

Pricing

What Pipe Relining Costs on the North Shore

Pipe relining runs $500 to $1,100 per metre, and most complete residential jobs land between $3,000 and $20,000. It is a wide band because pipe diameter, length, access and the number of junctions all move the number.

A few things worth knowing before you get a quote:

  • Setup is fixed regardless of length. It covers site preparation, safety, and mobilising the equipment, and that takes roughly the same couple of hours whether the run is 3 metres or 30. This is why a 5 metre job does not cost half of a 10 metre job.
  • The camera inspection, high-pressure jetting and 12-month follow-up inspection are all part of the reline. There is no separate line item for any of them.
  • The smallest full reline that makes sense is around $5,000. Below that a sectional patch is usually the better repair, at roughly $3,000 to $4,500 plus GST, and we will tell you which situation you are in. Note these are just estimates and we will confirm when onsite and give you an accurate cost and quote as every job is different.

Most North Shore sewer runs sit between 10 and 30 metres from the house to the boundary, though only the damaged section usually needs lining, not the whole run.

FAQ

Pipe Relining North Shore FAQs

Expert answers on cost, timing and what actually happens to your pipes.

Pipe relining on Sydney’s North Shore costs $500 to $1,100 per metre, with most complete residential jobs falling between $3,000 and $20,000. The final figure depends on pipe diameter, the length being lined, how easy the line is to access, and how many junctions need reinstating afterwards. Because the setup fee is fixed regardless of length, the smallest full reline that makes sense is around $5,000, and below that a sectional patch at roughly $3,000 to $4,500 plus GST is usually the better repair. Ready Set Reline camera inspects the line first, then gives you a fixed price in writing before any work starts, and will beat any comparable written quote by 10%.
No. Pipe relining is a trenchless repair carried out entirely from inside the pipe, using one existing access point such as an inspection opening or a removed toilet pan. Gardens, sandstone paving, driveways and tree roots stay untouched. The only situation requiring excavation is a pipe that has collapsed completely, and the camera inspection will identify that before any work is quoted.
Relining avoids the problem entirely. Ku-ring-gai, Willoughby, Lane Cove, Mosman and North Sydney councils all have tree preservation controls that restrict excavation inside the root zone of significant trees, which is where failed drains usually sit. Because relining is carried out from inside the pipe with no digging, no soil is disturbed and the tree is not touched. Always confirm your own council’s requirements, but relining removes the excavation that triggers most of these controls.
Yes. Ready Set Reline is based at 24/28 Barcoo Street, Roseville, and covers the North Shore from Kirribilli, Milsons Point and Mosman on the harbour through to Hornsby, Berowra and Mount Kuring-gai at the northern end. Most North Shore addresses are within a twenty minute drive of the Roseville base.
