INJECTION HOSE INSTALLATION IN EXETER
Free site survey, a written diagnosis and a fixed, itemised quotation — for concrete structures requiring crack repair systems across the Exeter area
Durable, long-life results on concrete structures requiring crack repair systems across Exeter, using high-performance resin delivery systems products and a written specification you can hold us to.
How the Work Is Carried Out
Works on concrete structures requiring crack repair systems are phased so the building keeps operating: areas are handed over in sections, access equipment is moved rather than left standing, and fast-cure materials are used where the programme is tight. You get a method statement and a risk assessment before anyone arrives on site.

Injection Hose Installation Methods & Systems
We install specialist injection hose systems for crack repair, curtain grouting, and structural strengthening using resin injection technology.
Passive Injection Hoses
Pre-installed hose systems embedded in cracks that activate when water pressure occurs, automatically injecting resin to seal leaks without manual intervention in inaccessible areas.
Active Injection Systems
Pressure-controlled injection hose networks for systematic crack sealing, allowing staged resin injection into multiple cracks from a single pump system with precise flow control.
Curtain Grouting Hoses
Tube-à-manchette (TAM) systems for creating waterproof resin curtains in soil or rock, used for tunnel waterproofing, dam repairs, and foundation stabilisation applications.
Crack Stitching Integration
Combined crack stitching and injection hose systems that structurally reinforce cracks while simultaneously sealing them with epoxy or polyurethane resins.
Flexible Resin Delivery
Multi-port injection hose manifolds allowing sequential or simultaneous resin delivery to multiple crack locations, optimising injection efficiency in large-scale repairs.
Monitoring & Testing
Pressure monitoring systems integrated with injection hoses to verify complete resin penetration, detect flow resistance, and confirm structural bond quality during injection.
Injection Hose Installation Process
Crack Mapping & Planning
Cracks are mapped, depth assessed, and injection hose layout designed to ensure complete resin coverage. Hose spacing and port locations determined based on crack characteristics.
Hose Installation
Injection hoses are surface-mounted along crack lines or embedded into drilled channels, secured with quick-set adhesive, and connected to injection ports or manifolds.
Resin Injection
Low-viscosity epoxy or polyurethane resin is pressure-injected through hoses, flowing through valves or porous sections into cracks until complete saturation is achieved.
Curing & Removal
After resin cures (24-48 hours), surface-mounted hoses are cut flush, embedded hoses remain in place, and surfaces are finished to match existing concrete appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is injection hose installation necessary?
Injection hoses are used for deep cracks, inaccessible locations, cracks requiring systematic multi-point injection, curtain grouting applications, or where passive systems that activate automatically when water pressure occurs are required. They're essential for complex structural crack repairs where standard surface injection may be insufficient.
What's the advantage of injection hoses over standard crack injection?
Injection hoses allow resin delivery deep into cracks from multiple points, ensuring complete penetration in thick sections. They enable systematic injection along entire crack lengths, work in inaccessible areas, and passive systems can seal future water ingress automatically without further intervention.
How much does injection hose installation cost?
Costs vary based on crack length, depth, accessibility, hose type (passive/active), and resin volumes required. Injection hose systems typically cost £800-£2,500 for residential crack repairs, with larger commercial projects priced per linear metre. The additional cost over standard injection is justified by superior penetration and reliability.
Can injection hoses seal cracks that are still moving?
Yes, when using flexible polyurethane resins through injection hoses, the system can accommodate minor crack movement while maintaining waterproof integrity. Passive injection hoses are particularly effective as they automatically inject resin when crack movement causes water pressure, creating self-healing characteristics.
Are injection hoses left in the structure permanently?
This depends on installation method. Surface-mounted hoses are typically removed after injection and cut flush. Embedded hoses in drilled channels or passive systems remain in place permanently, encapsulated in resin and invisible once surfaces are finished. Both approaches provide permanent structural crack sealing.

How we get to Exeter
From our yard at Gamlingay in South Cambridgeshire, Exeter is two and a half to four hours. Planned as multi-day visits with plant and materials delivered to site, so the phasing is agreed at survey stage rather than improvised later.
We say this plainly because it shows up in the price. Mobilisation, access plant and preparation equipment are largely fixed costs, so a single small repair a long way from base carries a much higher rate per square metre than the same work next door to us, or the same work bundled with other defects on one visit. If you have more than one problem on the site, it is worth having them all surveyed at once.

Most sites need more than one of these, and it is usually cheaper to have them surveyed together than to mobilise twice.
