What I Look For
Rat activity can sometimes be linked to damaged or poorly connected drains, redundant pipework, broken inspection chambers or openings that allow movement towards a building. However, drains are only one possible route.
A responsible investigation considers the drainage evidence alongside possible entry through wall cavities, floors, roofs, service ducts, neighbouring properties and external gaps. Where a drainage defect is found, the repair should be targeted at the proven route rather than based on assumption.
When This Service Is Appropriate
This service is appropriate when there is a reasonable possibility that drainage defects are contributing to rat access, especially where activity is repeated or concentrated near toilets, floors, kitchens or drainage routes.
Chris’s Professional Advice
A survey should lead to a decision, not just produce footage. The report and recommendation must match the reason for inspecting.
Where possible, I show the customer the important findings and explain them in ordinary language.
Good drainage advice should separate urgent defects from normal wear, minor imperfections and items that simply need monitoring.
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.
How much experience do you have?
I have more than 35 years of practical drainage experience, including previous council drainage work.
Do rats always enter through drains?
No. Drains are one possible route, but rats may also enter through structural gaps, roofs, wall cavities, air bricks, neighbouring properties or other routes.
Do you provide footage or findings?
The output depends on the service booked, but the important findings and recommendations are explained clearly.
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.
Do you cover Purley?
Yes. I cover Purley and surrounding areas, subject to availability and the type of work required.
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 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 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 identify displaced or open joints?
Yes. Joint condition is one of the common features assessed during CCTV work.
Who carries out the work?
Chris Peters carries out the drainage work personally.
What does Rat Entry 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.
