The call out charge was literally to just come out and jet it then if needed be theyd send a camera up if there was and collapsed pipework we would advise the customer to get a survey and if they agreed we would survey it noting all defects and then advise rather 0.5m patch 1m patch or a drag through liner and the patches were absolutley extorcionate price and the best part was if the clay pipe popped and the packer got stuch we would have to excavate it and retrieve our stuff and then charge the customer for the "Extra Work"

I worked for a drainage company for 12-18 months and for a 4" pipe 0.5m long they charged £500 plus £180 call out charge thats without surveying so your fix sounds really cheap considering with the patches it normally takes about 15 mins to survey depending on the run lengh and then to cut the patch apply the resin and send the packer down the run its about 2.5 hours all in ?

If anything snapping a shovel is a lot cheaper aswell

That's me all out of suggestions then my first thought is always will a digger work and if the answer is no my next thought is way about bruit force? That's my logic and it seems to work ??

@JackP how far down are you now and is the whole job clay soil because if you had some good loose gravely free draining ground marshals do a drainage system for driveways ect without the need for planning permission and it goes in good draining soil just set your land drainage in the trench put a good 12" of pea gravel around it and then fill the trench up with good topsoil an the drainage goes into like a crate wrapped up underground and collects the shite and good water gets back into the ground don't think I've explained it properly but if you look on marshals website it gives a better description

Is the ground really that compacted ? I've use them to rip up 4-5" concrete slabs and they've worked a treat rather you than me ? my other favourite way is a good old pick axe and think of someone you don't like you'll be suprise how much you can dig then

Wouldve been so much quicker and access isn't even hard because of micro diggers can move so much more material and not have a achey elbow there a brilliant bit of kit

Absolutley agree with @spudulike theres a old man down the road from me old john they call him hes a retired environment agency engineer and anything he puts his hand to is mended and always done properly theres a lot of folk near me who wont even use there dealer as they are overpriced uneducated know it all in my opinion therss 2 or 3 who dont know there arse from there elbow so these "backstreet mechanics" will always be about to do the job when the dealers cant ?
