CCTV Surveys: Unlocking the secrets beneath


We take pride in the fact that all of our engineers are multi-skilled. This means that all of them are fully trained and equipped in each of the different services we offer. One of these services is CCTV Surveying.


What is a drainage survey?


A CCTV drain survey is a fast, accurate and non-invasive way to inspect the condition of your drainage system. Using high-resolution cameras mounted on flexible rods or crawler units, we can navigate through your pipework and provide a detailed internal view of your drains — without the need for excavation.

There are several situations where a CCTV drain survey is highly recommended:


  • Blocked Drains: If you’re experiencing recurring blockages, a survey can pinpoint the root cause — whether it’s debris build-up, collapsed pipework, or tree root intrusion.
  • Pre-Purchase Property Surveys: Don’t get caught out when buying a home or commercial property. A CCTV drain survey can uncover hidden issues that could lead to costly repairs down the line.
  • Build-Over Surveys: If you’re planning an extension or building work, many local authorities require a CCTV survey to ensure the existing drains are unaffected.
  • Post-Repair Inspections: After drainage repair or relining work, a CCTV survey can confirm that everything has been completed correctly.
