Specialist CCTV Drain Surveys • Fixed Prices • No VAT • 35+ Years’ Experience
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
Where possible, I show the customer the important findings and explain them in ordinary language.
Access conditions can affect what can be surveyed. I explain any limitation clearly rather than pretending an unseen section has been inspected.
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
What does Blocked Drains 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.
Do you cover Finsbury?
Yes. I cover Finsbury and surrounding areas, subject to availability and the type of work required.
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.
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.
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 a survey help before buying a house?
Yes. A homebuyer drain survey can reveal defects and maintenance issues that are not visible during a normal property viewing.
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.
Do all defects need repairing?
No. Whether repair is justified depends on the severity, location, symptoms, flow and risk associated with the defect.
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.
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.
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.
