- Written report with photos, locations and recommended repairs
- Homebuyer and pre-purchase surveys
Find the cause, not just the symptom
Drains that keep blocking
A camera shows the crack, root or dip that keeps catching waste.
Smells, damp or rats
A broken drain is a common cause. The survey finds where.
Before buying or building
For house purchases, extensions and build-overs.
What is included in the survey
- A camera survey of the accessible drain runs by a trained engineer
- The video footage, yours to keep
- A written report: what we found, where (distance from the access point), photos, and recommended repairs
- A plain-English walk-through on the day
- Report date confirmed when you book: same day to 7 days, depending on the survey
Your report
Plain-English findings, a photo of each fault with its distance from the access point, and the repairs we recommend.
Not included: clearing a blocked drain before the survey. If the drain is blocked on the day, we agree a fixed price for clearing it first.
Homebuyer drain survey before you buy
A standard building survey rarely checks the drains, and drain repairs can cost thousands. A pre-purchase drain survey shows their condition before you exchange, so you can renegotiate or ask the seller to fix them.
- A drain survey before buying a house, booked around your exchange date, with the report date agreed up front
- Report written for you, your solicitor and your surveyor
- Older Manchester terraces and semis often have clay drains that are worth checking

What survey customers say
Rated 4.9 out of 5 · 500+ reviews
“Had a CCTV survey done after our drains kept blocking every few months. The engineer showed us exactly what was going on inside the pipes and explained everything in plain English. Really helpful and didn't feel like we were being pushed into unnecessary work.”
“Booked a drain survey before buying a house as we wanted to make sure there weren't any hidden problems. They managed to fit us in quickly and sent over the report and footage afterwards. Really straightforward service and reasonably priced too.”
“We'd been getting a horrible smell from the drains but couldn't work out where it was coming from. The lad came out with the camera and found an issue further down the pipe. Explained what needed doing and gave us a clear price. Spot on service.”
