Commercial Drain Surveys
Surveys built for businesses, landlords and managing agents. We handle planned maintenance, pre-lease due diligence and compliance, with minimal disruption.
What is a commercial drain survey?
A commercial drain survey is a CCTV inspection of business, industrial or multi-occupancy drainage. We plan it around your operation, including out of hours, to keep disruption low. It then delivers consistent, coded reporting for maintenance, compliance, pre-lease due diligence or multi-site portfolios.
Commercial drainage is often larger, busier and more complex than domestic systems, and downtime is costly. Because of that, we plan our commercial surveys around your operation, with out-of-hours options to keep disruption to a minimum.
Whether it is pre-lease due diligence, planned maintenance, an insurance requirement or a recurring fault across a site, we deliver clear, coded reporting. As a result, you can act on it directly or hand it straight to your contractors.
When you need a commercial drain survey
- You are taking on, renewing or selling a commercial lease
- You need planned, preventative drainage maintenance
- An insurer or compliance regime requires drainage records
- A recurring fault is affecting trading or operations
- You manage a portfolio and need consistent reporting
Why it matters
Minimal disruption
We schedule flexibly, including out of hours, to protect trading and operations. As a result, the survey works around your business rather than interrupting it.
Portfolio-ready reporting
You get consistent, coded reports suitable for managing agents and multi-site portfolios. Because the format is comparable, you can benchmark one property against another.
Due diligence
We confirm the condition of the drainage before you sign a lease or take on a property. As a result, you go in knowing exactly what you are committing to. If the survey flags a problem, you can renegotiate or walk away.
What's included
- A survey scoped to the site and its access constraints
- WRc/MSCC-coded reporting in a consistent, comparable format
- Drainage plans where they are useful
- A planned-maintenance recommendation where relevant
- Out-of-hours scheduling to protect trading
How it works
- 01
Scope the site
First, we agree access, timing and the extent of the system to be surveyed. Because commercial sites vary, we plan carefully around how yours operates.
- 02
Survey & code
Next, our crews survey the network and code every defect to standard. Meanwhile, we flag anything that could affect trading or compliance.
- 03
Report & plan
Finally, you receive a clear report and, where useful, a maintenance recommendation. You can then act on it or pass it to your facilities team.

Commercial Drain Survey — your questions answered
How much does a commercial drain survey cost?
We quote on the size and complexity of the system and any access requirements. For multi-site or planned-maintenance work, we price on a programme basis, so tell us about the site for a fixed-price quote.
Can you survey out of hours?
Yes. Because we schedule around your operation, we can survey evenings and weekends by arrangement. That way, your trading is never disrupted.
Do you cover multi-site portfolios?
Yes. We provide consistent, comparable reporting across multiple properties, which is ideal for managing agents and facilities teams. Because every site uses the same format, you can compare them at a glance.
Can you provide planned preventative maintenance?
Yes. Where a site has recurring issues or critical drainage, we recommend and deliver a scheduled maintenance programme, so we prevent costly failures before they happen.
