Make the right decision before you spend
Many drainage problems get treated at the symptom level. A CCTV survey shows what is actually happening inside the pipe, where the defect is, and how serious it is.
- Confirm the exact cause of the problem
- Avoid unnecessary excavation and disruption
- Prioritise defects by risk, not guesswork
- Know if lining is suitable before committing
How a CCTV survey turns into a fix plan
We confirm access points, objectives, and what the survey needs to prove.
We inspect the line, record key defects, and locate the true cause.
You get clear findings with practical next steps and risk-based priorities.
If lining is suitable we specify the right approach. If not, we explain what to do instead.

CCTV surveys and lining questions, answered
What is a CCTV drain survey?
A CCTV drain survey is a camera inspection of your drainage line to identify defects, ingress, damage and risk areas.
When should I book a CCTV survey instead of a repair?
Book a survey when the cause is unclear, the issue keeps returning, you are buying a property, or you need evidence for planned works.
Do you provide a written report with images or video evidence?
Yes. You receive clear findings, locations of issues, and practical next steps supported by relevant visual evidence.
Can a survey confirm if drain lining is suitable?
Yes. A survey confirms defect type, pipe condition, access and preparation needs so lining suitability can be assessed.
Which areas do you cover?
Essex is the primary focus with strong London coverage. UK-wide support is available when the project requires it.
