Specialist CCTV Drain Surveys • Fixed Prices • No VAT • 35+ Years’ Experience
A Practical Approach
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.
What Homebuyer Drain Surveys in Bognor Regis Can Reveal
A properly targeted inspection can identify root ingress, open or displaced joints, fractures, deformation, standing water, deposits, poor connections, redundant branches and previous repairs. The significance of each finding depends on its position, severity and relationship to the reason for the survey.
How the Survey Is Carried Out
Accessible pipework is checked and, where necessary, cleared sufficiently for the camera to travel and produce useful images. The route, condition and important observations are recorded, with limitations explained where a section cannot be reached.
When Homebuyer Drain Surveys Are Worthwhile
Homebuyer Drain Surveys in Bognor Regis are particularly useful before buying a property, before or after building work, for repeated drainage symptoms, where a repair decision needs evidence, or when an insurer, landlord or property manager requires a clearer understanding of the drainage system.
Clear Findings, Not Just Camera Footage
The important result is a practical explanation of what has been found and what it means. Minor imperfections should not be presented as major failures, while defects that are likely to affect flow, stability or future maintenance should be clearly identified.
When Homebuyer Drain Surveys in Bognor Regis Are 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
Repeated clearance without understanding the cause can cost more in the long run. Where a pattern is developing, evidence is usually worth obtaining.
Not every defect needs immediate repair. Age, position, severity, flow and symptoms all matter when deciding what is proportionate.
A clear drain can still contain a defect, while a blocked drain can sometimes be structurally sound. Symptoms and evidence must be considered together.
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.

What can a CCTV drain survey reveal?
It can identify visible roots, fractures, open or displaced joints, deformation, deposits, standing water, poor connections and previous repairs.
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.
Will I receive clear findings?
Yes. I explain the important observations in plain English and distinguish between urgent defects, sensible maintenance and minor items that may simply be monitored.
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.
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.
How much experience do you have?
I have more than 35 years of practical drainage experience, including previous council drainage work.
Who carries out the work?
Chris Peters carries out the drainage work personally.
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 charge VAT?
No VAT is added to my prices.
Will a survey always find the cause?
A survey often provides valuable evidence, but access, submerged sections, inaccessible branches or non-drainage causes can limit what can be confirmed.
