A Practical Approach
The immediate priority is to restore proper flow using suitable drainage equipment. Once clear, the drain is tested and the likely cause assessed. A camera survey is not automatically required, but it becomes useful when blockages repeat, the pipe does not clear normally, rats or roots are suspected, or there are signs of structural damage.
This avoids turning a simple clearance into unnecessary work while still giving recurring problems the investigation they deserve.
When This Service Is Appropriate
This service is appropriate when a drain, toilet, sink or outside drain is blocked or draining poorly. CCTV is considered where the problem is repeated, unusual or likely to involve a hidden defect.
Chris’s Professional Advice
A clear drain can still contain a defect, while a blocked drain can sometimes be structurally sound. Symptoms and evidence must be considered together.
Repeated clearance without understanding the cause can cost more in the long run. Where a pattern is developing, evidence is usually worth obtaining.
A one-off blockage caused by wipes, excess paper or local debris may need no further investigation once the drain is fully cleared and tested.
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
Do all defects need repairing?
No. Whether repair is justified depends on the severity, location, symptoms, flow and risk associated with the defect.
Who carries out the work?
Chris Peters carries out the drainage work personally.
Do you charge VAT?
No VAT is added to my prices.
How much experience do you have?
I have more than 35 years of practical drainage experience, including previous council drainage work.
How quickly can work be arranged?
Availability varies, so it is best to call or WhatsApp with the location and a brief description of the problem.
Can you inspect after a blockage has been cleared?
Yes. This is often the best time to inspect where a blockage has been recurring or the cause remains uncertain.
Can roots be seen during an inspection?
Usually yes. Root ingress often appears clearly, although heavy blockage or standing water may need clearing before the full extent can be assessed.
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 clear the drain before inspecting it?
Yes. A blocked or heavily soiled pipe often needs clearing first so the camera can show the underlying condition.
Can you inspect shared drains?
Often yes, although access, permission and responsibility may need to be considered where pipework serves more than one property.
Can you investigate a recurring smell?
Yes. Persistent smells can be linked to drainage defects, poor seals, trapped waste or other building issues, so the likely sources need assessing.
Does every blockage need a CCTV survey?
No. A straightforward one-off blockage often only needs proper clearance and testing. CCTV is more appropriate when the problem repeats or a hidden defect is suspected.
