What the Service Covers
Rat activity can sometimes be linked to damaged or poorly connected drains, redundant pipework, broken inspection chambers or openings that allow movement towards a building. However, drains are only one possible route.
A responsible investigation considers the drainage evidence alongside possible entry through wall cavities, floors, roofs, service ducts, neighbouring properties and external gaps. Where a drainage defect is found, the repair should be targeted at the proven route rather than based on assumption.
When This Service Is Appropriate
This service is appropriate when there is a reasonable possibility that drainage defects are contributing to rat access, especially where activity is repeated or concentrated near toilets, floors, kitchens or drainage routes.
Chris’s Professional Advice
The cheapest repair is not always the best repair, but equally the most extensive option is not automatically necessary.
The most useful investigation is the one that answers a specific question. Before starting, I consider the symptoms, history and layout so the work remains focused.
A camera image on its own is not enough. The important part is interpreting what it shows and deciding whether the finding is relevant to the problem.
What Happens Next
I first establish the reason for the visit and the most useful access points. I then carry out the relevant clearance, inspection or investigation, explain the findings and discuss proportionate options. Where another trade, pest controller, insurer or structural specialist is more appropriate, I say so.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will you recommend the least disruptive repair?
Where repair is needed, I explain suitable options such as local patching, lining or excavation according to the actual defect.
Can you map the route of a drain?
In many cases, yes. Drain tracing and observations from access points can help establish routes, connections and likely positions.
Can you identify displaced or open joints?
Yes. Joint condition is one of the common features assessed during CCTV work.
Do you provide footage or findings?
The output depends on the service booked, but the important findings and recommendations are explained clearly.
Who carries out the work?
Chris Peters carries out the drainage work personally.
Will I receive clear advice?
Yes. I explain the important findings in plain English and distinguish between urgent work, sensible maintenance and items that may simply be monitored.
Do you cover High Halden?
Yes. I cover High Halden and surrounding areas, subject to availability and the type of work required.
Can a CCTV survey prove rat entry?
It can identify drainage defects and possible routes, but the overall evidence from the property must also be considered.
What does Rat Entry Surveys involve?
The exact process depends on the reason for the visit, but it normally includes checking access, investigating the relevant drainage run, recording findings and explaining the result.
Can you help with insurance evidence?
Yes. Insurance-related investigations can record the condition and location of relevant defects, although the insurer decides what evidence and cover they accept.
Can you inspect shared drains?
Often yes, although access, permission and responsibility may need to be considered where pipework serves more than one property.
Is there a call-out charge?
There is no separate call-out charge. The price and scope are discussed as clearly as possible before work starts.
