CCTV Drain Surveys in London

A CCTV drain survey shows exactly what is happening inside your pipes. Our HD camera finds the cause of blockages, maps the drain layout and spots structural defects. Surveys are useful for property purchases, insurance claims and planned maintenance. They also give you visual evidence that rodding or chemicals cannot match, since you can see the fault yourself.

How cctv drain surveys works in London

1

Book Your Survey

Contact us to arrange a convenient time. We bring survey equipment to your London property, and we still work around your plans.

2

Camera Insertion

We open the drain through a manhole or inspection chamber. Then we feed a waterproof camera along the whole drain run, while we watch the monitor.

3

Live Inspection

The camera sends live footage to a monitor while we move through the drain. As a result, we can spot root ingress, displaced joints, cracks and blockages as they appear.

4

Written Report

You receive a written report with footage and still images. It records each defect and sets out repair options. As a result, you know what to do next.

Common cctv drain surveys problems in London

  • ✓ Root growth through open joints in Victorian clay pipes
  • ✓ Joint movement from London Clay shrink and swell
  • ✓ Cracked or collapsed pipe sections under gardens and driveways
  • ✓ Scale and deposits that hide structural defects
  • ✓ Unclear boundaries between Thames Water and private drains on older systems

Our approach in London

We open the drain at an inspection chamber or another access point. Then we push an HD camera along the whole run. While the camera moves, we record each defect by position and type. Afterwards, you receive a written report with footage and still images.

Local tip: A survey is wise before you buy an older period home, especially a Victorian terrace. The cost is small compared with the repair bills that hidden defects can bring. Since the report records each fault, it also helps you plan repairs or talk price with the seller.

CCTV Drain Surveys in London — FAQs

How much does a CCTV drain survey cost in London?

The cost depends on the size of the property and how complex the drains are. Larger or older drainage networks usually take longer to survey than small, modern ones. Request a quote online, because we can then talk you through the options.

Do I need a CCTV drain survey before buying a property in London?

We recommend a pre-purchase drain survey, especially for older buildings. Hidden drain defects can be costly to repair, yet a standard homebuyer survey does not usually cover them.
