What the Service Covers
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 one-off blockage caused by wipes, excess paper or local debris may need no further investigation once the drain is fully cleared and tested.
A survey should lead to a decision, not just produce footage. The report and recommendation must match the reason for inspecting.
Drainage systems often cross boundaries or connect with shared pipework. Ownership and responsibility may need checking before repairs are arranged.
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.
Can I send photos first?
Yes. Photos, previous reports and a short history can help me understand what may be needed before attending.
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.
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 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.
Can you identify displaced or open joints?
Yes. Joint condition is one of the common features assessed during CCTV work.
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.
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.
