About CCTV Drain Experts
CCTV Drain Experts is a UK drainage brand built around one idea: see the problem before you spend a penny fixing it. You send one request, and we pass it on straight away, which saves ringing round several firms while the problem gets worse.
This site is for homeowners, buyers, landlords, agents and commercial teams who need a clear answer about what is happening below ground. It covers major UK cities and the areas around them. Each city page lists the districts it includes.
A camera survey takes the guesswork out: look first, see the footage, and only then decide on work. Where the pipe allows, a no-dig repair can also save money and mess, since nothing is dug up.
How it works
Diagnose before any digging
Ask for a camera survey before any repair, so the work that follows fixes the real cause. That way, you need not pay to fix a problem nobody has seen.
No-dig first
Where the pipe allows, relining and patch repairs can fix it from inside. That protects your property, so drives, gardens and floors stay intact.
Clear reporting
Ask for a WRc/MSCC-coded report in plain English. Then you can act on the findings without wading through jargon.
Honest advice
If a problem is only minor maintenance, you should be told so. Ask what happens if you do nothing, and ask for the footage.
Who it helps
Homeowners
Recurring blockages, smells, damp or a drain you just want checked. A camera survey finds the cause, so it can be fixed once rather than patched again and again.
Home buyers
Ask for a pre-purchase drain survey with a clear report for your solicitor. That way, you can avoid nasty surprises below ground.
Landlords & agents
Documented surveys and repairs for single homes or whole portfolios. Ask for the same report format each time, so they are easy to compare and file.
Commercial & facilities
Planned maintenance, pre-lease checks and out-of-hours requests. Ask whether out-of-hours slots are possible, so trading can carry on.
What to ask for
UK CCTV drain reports are usually coded to the WRc Manual of Sewer Condition Classification (MSCC). Ask for a report coded to that standard, since insurers, solicitors, lenders and contractors know it. Ask for the raw footage and a plain-English summary too. And ask whether a no-dig repair, such as relining or a patch, would work before anyone digs.
About the service — common questions
Do you cover my area?
This site covers major UK cities and the areas around them. If you are unsure, check the Locations page or send your postcode and we'll check.
Will I need to dig anything up?
Not to find the problem, since surveys use the access points you already have. If the drain then needs a repair, ask whether a no-dig method such as relining would work.
Can a drain be repaired without digging?
Often, yes. Relining or a patch repair can fix many faults from inside the pipe, so your drive, garden and floors stay as they are. That usually costs less than digging, too.
How quickly will I get my report?
It depends on the engineer and the job. Ask when your written report will be ready before you book, and ask for the footage as well.
