Which CCTV Survey Do You Need For Your London Property?
Don’t just guess—know. We offer specialised surveys tailored to your specific project requirements.
Standard Look-See CCTV Inspection: Best for recurring blockages, bad smells, and slow drains in London. Our engineers provide an immediate on-site diagnosis to identify roots or collapsed pipes. Price Start from £168 (Applies to single domestic properties with a non-shared drainage system only). Note: This entry-level service provides a visual diagnosis only and does not include a written technical report, video file, or drawing.
Homebuyer & Pre-Purchase Surveys: Essential for Property Buyers, Mortgage Lenders, and Solicitors. Standard building surveys miss underground drains—don’t risk inheriting a £5,000 repair bill. Our structural check produces a WRC-Approved Technical Report and HD Video Footage accepted by all UK lenders and insurers. Price Start from: £225 (Includes Full Data Pack and drainage drawings)
Build-Over & Drain Mapping: Extensions, Architects, and New Builds. Building near a public sewer? Authorities like Thames Water require a “Build-Over Agreement” for approval. We use Sonar Drain Tracing to map the exact depth and direction of your pipes, providing the certified pre- and post-construction maps required for building control sign-off.
Commercial & Industrial Surveys: Site Handovers, Schools, and Developers. We provide comprehensive asset mapping for large-scale sites in London. From large-diameter culverts to manhole inspections, our team delivers the detailed data and CAD drawings you need to ensure your site is fully compliant with environmental and safety regulations.

CCTV Drain Inspection Report London: What's Included
A survey is only as good as the report. We don’t just hand you a DVD and leave. You receive a comprehensive, industry-standard data pack.
All our reports are produced to WRC (Water Research Council) MSCC5 Standards—the gold standard required by UK insurance companies.
Full Technical Report (PDF): A written log detailing pipe materials, flow direction, and diameters.
Defect Coding: All issues are graded from 1 (minor) to 5 (collapse) using official WRC codes.
High-Definition Video: A link to the full digital footage of your sewer inspection.
Still Images: High-res photos of key defects (cracks, roots, obstructions).
Site Plan: A schematic layout of your drainage system (essential for future works).
The Solution: A clear, fixed-price quotation for any necessary repairs (lining, patching, or excavation).
Our 4-Step Inspection Process
Access & Setup: Our qualified engineer arrives at your property or site in London, assesses the site, and identifies the safest access point (manhole or rodding eye) to insert the camera.
The Inspection: We insert a push-rod or crawler camera, navigating the entire length of the pipework while recording in HD.
Sonar Tracing: If we find a defect, we use above-ground sonar tools to pinpoint its exact location and depth—meaning we know exactly where to dig or patch without guesswork.
Report & Recommendations: You receive your full data pack and a no-obligation quote for repairs.

Why Choose Drain 247 For Your Drainage Surveys In London?
We Are Local: We aren’t a lead-generation site or a national franchise. We have been serving London since the early 90s. We know the local Victorian drainage systems and the heavy clay soil better than anyone. London’s aging sewer network is prone to collapse and root intrusion from tree-lined streets. Our crawler cameras are specifically calibrated to navigate these older, tighter clay pipe systems.
We Fix What We Find: We are full-service drainage experts. If our survey finds a break, we can fix it using “No-Dig” technology (structural lining) often on the same day, saving you the hassle of finding a second contractor.
Fully Accredited: We hold certifications from CHAS, Constructionline, and ISO. You are hiring vetted, insured, and qualified professionals.
