Why might someone in London need a cctv drainage survey?

Buying a new home

CCTV drain surveys are one of the most important things a London homebuyer should do before buying their new home.

Building an extension

A pre-build survey can show the location & condition of the drains running under or close to any proposed building work.

Problems with rats

Rats can squeeze through a hole the size of a 50p piece. A cctv drain survey can identify any cracks and defects.

Surface flooding

A cctv drain survey can identify the underlying reasons for surface water flooding into your London property.

Subsidence

Leaking or broken drains under your property can lead to subsidence. A cctv drainage survey can identify any defects.

Persistent problems

If your drains keep reblocking or those horrible drain smells don't go away, it might be time for a cctv drain survey.

Pre-purchase drain surveys for London homebuyers

Drain surveys are one of the most important things to do before buying your new home.

Unfortunately, some London homebuyers only find out their drains have structural defects once they've moved in and then have to pay lots of money for drain repairs.

A pre-purchase drain survey can spot any potential problems before they appear, giving the buyer, the opportunity to negotiate with the seller or even pull out of the purchase.

To book your homebuyer drain survey, call 020 8168 9981 or email our London office.

What does it cost for a cctv drain survey in London?

£295.00 plus vat

This is the starting price for carrying out a cctv drain survey with a full report at a domestic property in the South London area.
Prices are higher for evenings, weekends and for North or Central London. Extra charges apply if jetting is needed.

What areas of London can we come out to carry out cctv drainage surveys?

Our drain engineers carry out cctv drain surveys, drain inspections, homebuyer surveys and drain tracing throughout London including the London Boroughs of Bexley, Bromley, Croydon, Fulham & Hammersmith, Greenwich, Kensington & Chelsea, Havering, Kingston, Lambeth, Lewisham, Merton, Richmond, Southwark, Sutton, Tower Hamlets, Barking & Dagenham, Wandsworth and Westminster.

What if you don't need the full drain survey report?

We do offer a "quick look" drain survey, often referred to as a drain inspection, to locate and diagnose a specific problem within a drain.

The engineer can show you the footage on site and highlight any issues as he does the survey. This is cheaper and quicker for those who do not require the footage or a full written report, however, will not be adequate for insurance purposes.

Prices for a "quick look" drain survey in South London start from £125 plus vat.

Do you need a build over drain survey in London?

If you are building a conservatory or any other extension to your home, the local water authority in London will need to know, to ensure access to drains is not restricted.

Your local water authority will be able to tell you where the main sewers run. They will need to know the location, condition, depth and size of all drainage within 3m of the proposed extension. A build over drain survey will give you all the information you need.

Rats can enter through displaced drains, broken or cracked pipes and redundant drains.

Our engineers in London use the latest drain survey equipment, to identify any faults and defects, that would allow rats to escape from the sewers and into your home.
