A CCTV drain survey records the inside of the pipe. We explain the findings in plain terms.
Surveys are useful before a property purchase or when a blockage keeps returning. Written reports with photographs are available on request.
What’s covered
- Colour CCTV pipeline surveys on accessible domestic and commercial runs
- Pre-purchase / conveyancing surveys (where access and run type are suitable)
- Post-unblock condition checks so you know if the clear will hold
- Survey findings explained in plain English — not just raw footage
- Photo / written reporting you can share with solicitors, landlords or insurers
- Recommendations that match the defect: jet, line, excavate or monitor
How we work
We access the run via a suitable chamber or fitting and send a colour camera through the pipe. Access quality matters — we’ll tell you early if a run can’t be surveyed safely.
The recording shows defects such as cracks and root ingress. We stop on each defect so it is clearly documented.
We talk through the findings and recommend jetting, lining, excavation or monitoring as appropriate. No pressure to dig the whole garden if a no-dig option will do.
Ask for a written / photo report when booking. That’s the same style of follow-up customers highlight in Google reviews when they couldn’t be on site.
When to call us
- Repeated blockages in the same place
- Buying a property and want underground certainty before exchange
- Before major landscaping, extensions or driveway works
- After unexplained damp, sinkholes or subsidence concerns
- Before or after drain jetting / unblocking, to prove condition
- Insurance or landlord requests for evidence of pipe condition

Frequently asked questions
- Do I get a recording or report?
- Ask for a written / photo report when booking. Reviewers specifically praise clear reporting with pictures — especially useful if you’re not on site.
- Is CCTV always needed?
- Not always for a simple first clear — but it’s the right tool when problems recur, you’re buying a property, or you’re planning a repair or lining job.
- Can you survey before I buy a house?
- Yes where access allows — pre-purchase surveys help flag costly underground surprises. Tell us the property address and any known manhole locations.
- Will you recommend work after the survey?
- We recommend the work the survey supports. There is no obligation to use us for it.
- Which areas do you cover?
- We are based in West London and work up and down the country.
