CCTV Drain Surveys In Nottingham & The East Midlands

See Inside Your Drains Without Digging

A CCTV drain survey sends a waterproof camera through your pipes to show exactly what is wrong — cracks, displaced joints, root ingress, collapses or blockages — without digging. Every survey comes with WRc/MSCC5-coded condition grading, a PDF condition report, the recorded footage and stills of each defect, and a map of your drain runs — for homeowners, buyers, landlords, insurers and businesses across the East Midlands.

CCTV Drain Surveys from £149 + VAT

This is our starting price. The final price depends on the job — access, depth and what we find on site — and we always confirm a fixed price before any work starts. No call-out fee. Call 07300 600 950 for a quote.

Why have a CCTV drain survey?

Drain problems are hidden underground, so guessing is expensive. A camera survey shows the condition of every run, the direction of flow, pipe materials and the exact location and depth of any defect, so repairs can be targeted and quoted accurately.

Surveys are commonly used for recurring blockages, suspected leaks or subsidence, insurance claims, extensions near drains (build-over), and before buying a property.

  • Recurring blockages or smells
  • Suspected cracked or collapsed pipes
  • Insurance claims and leak investigations
  • Build-over and extension planning
  • Pre-purchase checks on a new home

What's in our survey report?

Every survey is recorded and coded to the WRc Manual of Sewer Condition Classification, 5th edition (MSCC5) — the standard UK water companies, insurers and surveyors work to — so each defect gets a recognised code, a position along the pipe and a structural or service grade. You receive:

  • WRc/MSCC5-coded condition grading for every defect
  • A PDF condition report with plain-English repair recommendations
  • The recorded survey footage and stills of each defect
  • Drain mapping: a plan of your drain runs, chambers, depths and flow direction

Frequently Asked Questions

Our CCTV drain surveys start from £149 + VAT, including the MSCC5-coded PDF report, footage, stills and a drain map. The final price depends on how many runs there are, access, and whether the pipes need jetting first so the camera can see; larger and commercial surveys are quoted individually. We confirm the price before we start.

MSCC5 is the 5th edition of the WRc Manual of Sewer Condition Classification, the UK standard for recording what a drain camera sees. Each defect — a crack, displaced joint, root ingress or deformation — gets a standard code, its distance along the pipe and a grade, so insurers, surveyors and contractors read the report the same way.

Most domestic surveys take one to two hours on site, depending on the number of runs and access. Larger or commercial surveys take longer; we'll give you a timescale when you book.

Yes. You receive the recorded survey footage and stills of each defect alongside the PDF condition report, the MSCC5 defect coding and a map of your drain runs.

Many buildings policies cover accidental damage to drains. Insurers typically ask for a CCTV survey report that shows the defect and its cause, which is exactly what our reports provide. Check your policy wording first.

No. The camera goes in through existing access points such as manholes, inspection chambers and gullies, so there is no excavation.
