As the camera moves inside the pipes, we stop at each telltale sign: joints out of alignment, roots forcing their way in, or areas where the walls have thinned. Our technician captures images to record every concern, so you receive a full picture of your drains’ condition.
After the inspection, we compile a straightforward report filled with easy to understand images and honest descriptions. No jargon, no hidden details. You’ll see exactly what’s happening underground and why it matters.

Contact usA CCTV drain survey involves sending a small, waterproof camera through your drainage pipes to inspect their interior. This non-invasive process reveals blockages, cracks, root intrusions, and other issues without digging up your yard. By choosing a CCTV drain survey, you gain a clear, detailed picture of your drains’ condition—allowing you to address problems early and avoid unexpected repair bills.
For most residential properties, a complete CCTV drain survey takes between 45 minutes and an hour. That includes set-up, the camera inspection itself, and reviewing the footage to compile a concise report. If your home has a more complex drain network, it could take a little longer. Either way, you won’t be left waiting all day—our technicians work efficiently to minimize disruption.
Absolutely. The camera we use is mounted on a flexible rod designed to navigate tight bends gently, even in older pipes. Because it’s non-invasive, there’s no need to worry about further damaging your existing system. In fact, for aging or delicate pipes, a CCTV drain survey often proves safer than traditional inspection methods that rely on digging or probing.
Pricing depends on factors such as the number of drain runs inspected, the length of pipes, and how easily we can access entry points. Generally, most homeowners see costs in the range of £175-£295 for a single camera run. For a precise quote, we provide a straightforward estimate after a quick site assessment or phone consultation, no hidden fees, guaranteed.
Yes. We set up a portable monitor on-site, so you can watch as the camera travels through your pipes. Seeing roots forcing their way in, misaligned joints, or stubborn blockages as they happen helps you understand exactly what’s going on beneath your home. Not only is it informative, but it also ensures we’re all on the same page when it comes to next steps.
In most cases, there’s very little you need to do. Clear the area around any accessible drain entry points, usually under a sink, near an outdoor drain, or within a basement. If possible, avoid using water, don’t run taps, flush toilets, or run dishwashers for about an hour before and during the survey. That helps ensure the camera can move freely and reveals any slow-draining signs.
While a CCTV drain survey provides an extensive view, there are a few limitations. For example, if your pipes are completely blocked and the camera can’t pass through, we may need to perform a targeted drain jetting first to clear a path. Once cleared, the camera will pick up everything. Overall, though, CCTV drain inspections capture the vast majority of issues in real time, giving you a highly reliable diagnosis.
Definitely. For home buyers, having a CCTV drain survey report at the negotiation stage means no surprises after completing the sale. If you’re selling, offering a recent survey reassures potential buyers that your drains are in good shape or shows you’ve already addressed any problems. In either case, that documentation fosters trust, speeds up negotiations, and can even strengthen your asking price.

call nowFirst time I’ve used Drainblock but Roman was brill. Top class. Great communication, excellent work and knowledge , and fairly priced. Having hired many many trades as a landlord and holiday let owner I can say I really wish they were all this easy to deal with.
Called Roman with a query about a blocked drain at 1815 .
Was given very competitive prices for a call out at this time of night and a straight forward breakdown of what it may cost if the time went over 1 hour.
Gladly agreed to get him out and can happily say drain was completely unblocked within 45 minutes of original call.
Roman very kindly gave his time and experience to help us deal with a terrible experience from a rogue trader. He reviewed CCTV footage and was able to explain what would have been a reasonable and fair (in contrast to what happened to us). I’m incredibly grateful to him. I will certainly choose him for a good, honest local service in the future. Thanks, Roman!
