What I Look For
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
Good drainage advice should separate urgent defects from normal wear, minor imperfections and items that simply need monitoring.
Access conditions can affect what can be surveyed. I explain any limitation clearly rather than pretending an unseen section has been inspected.
The cheapest repair is not always the best repair, but equally the most extensive option is not automatically necessary.
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 you charge VAT?
No VAT is added to my prices.
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 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 inspect shared drains?
Often yes, although access, permission and responsibility may need to be considered where pipework serves more than one property.
Do you cover Hindhead?
Yes. I cover Hindhead and surrounding areas, subject to availability and the type of work required.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What happens if part of the drain cannot be reached?
I explain the limitation and what additional access or clearance may be needed. I do not describe an unseen section as inspected.
