Specialist CCTV Drain Surveys • Fixed Prices • No VAT • 35+ Years’ Experience
What the Service Covers
A CCTV camera is passed through accessible drainage pipework to examine its internal condition. Depending on the service, the inspection may look for roots, fractures, open or displaced joints, deformation, deposits, standing water, poor connections, previous repairs or evidence relevant to a property transaction or insurance matter.
The value comes from matching the inspection to the question being asked. A homebuyer survey, build-over check, defect investigation and commercial survey may require different coverage and reporting.
When This Service Is Appropriate
This service is appropriate when evidence is needed before purchase, repair, building work, an insurance decision or investigation of recurring symptoms.
Chris’s Professional Advice
The cheapest repair is not always the best repair, but equally the most extensive option is not automatically necessary.
Good drainage advice should separate urgent defects from normal wear, minor imperfections and items that simply need monitoring.
A survey should lead to a decision, not just produce footage. The report and recommendation must match the reason for inspecting.
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 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 charge VAT?
No VAT is added to my prices.
Who carries out the work?
Chris Peters carries out the drainage work personally.
How much experience do you have?
I have more than 35 years of practical drainage experience, including previous council drainage work.
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.
Can you identify displaced or open joints?
Yes. Joint condition is one of the common features assessed during CCTV work.
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 inspect older clay drains?
Yes, provided there is suitable access and the pipe can be entered safely with the equipment.
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.
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.
Do all defects need repairing?
No. Whether repair is justified depends on the severity, location, symptoms, flow and risk associated with the defect.
What does Homebuyer Drain 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.
