A clear picture of what's happening underground
A CCTV drain survey uses a small waterproof camera to inspect the inside of your pipework. We feed it through an existing access point — no excavation, no mess — and watch the live footage on a monitor as we go.
It works on any property, whether you're on mains drainage or have an off-mains system.
Common reasons homeowners contact us include:
- persistent blockages
- slow drains where the cause isn't clear
- unexplained damp patches or sunken ground near drains
- to complement drain jetting work
- when buying or selling a property, for peace of mind
After the survey, we give you a plain-language report, including recommendations for any needed repairs.
How we carry out your CCTV drain survey
Most CCTV drain surveys are completed in under an hour, depending on site conditions.
Here's what to expect:
- One of our technicians visits your property and identifies the best access point for the camera.
- We feed the camera through your pipework and inspect it section by section on a live monitor.
- We record our findings as we go and prepare a plain-language report of everything we find.
- We share the report with you and walk you through our findings and any recommended next steps.
If the survey reveals a blockage, we can carry out drain jetting on the same visit or arrange a follow-up — whichever suits you best.
Clear answers and fair pricing
The cost of a CCTV drain survey depends on the size of your property and the complexity of your drainage system.
Most residential surveys start at £200, including labour and equipment.
We'll always give you a clear quote before any work begins. There are no surprises, no obligation to proceed, and no pressure from us.
Cost matters, but the value of our service is also worth considering:
- a quick response, day or night
- your drainage problem identified in a single visit
- a plain-language report you can actually use
- honest advice — if repairs are needed, we'll explain what needs to be done and why
