Find the cause

CCTV drain surveys

Our CCTV drainage packages provide a fast, accurate way to diagnose hidden issues in your drainage system. Using high-resolution camera technology, we inspect your pipes from the inside—identifying blockages, damage, or structural faults without the need for excavation. Ideal for homeowners, landlords, and property buyers.

Look & See Survey

£140

Ideal when you suspect a drainage issue but need clarity. This package allows us to inspect your drains using CCTV technology to quickly identify any defects, blockages, or concerns—helping us get to the root of the problem without guesswork.

A look and see survey is typically carried out on a single pipe to quickly identify issues within a specific section of the drainage system.

Look & See With Video

£190

This package includes a CCTV drain inspection along with recorded video footage delivered via Dropbox, USB stick, or WhatsApp. Ideal for customers who need to share findings with a partner or retain evidence for planning future work like extensions or external groundworks.

If defects are found, we can arrange a free, no-obligation repair quotation from Nyas Construction Ltd.

Full CCTV Drain Survey, MINA Report & Video Footage

From £350

This package is designed for pre-purchase property surveys and provides a documented assessment of the accessible drainage within the agreed scope.

What’s included

  • CCTV inspection of accessible manholes, drainage runs (foul and storm), and kitchen and rainwater gullies within the agreed scope
  • Professionally compiled MINA report detailing the condition of the pipes and any defects found
  • High-quality video footage delivered via Dropbox, USB stick, or WhatsApp
  • Free quotation from Nyas Construction Ltd for any remedial repair work if defects are detected

Please Note: The listed price is based on an average 3 bedroom semi-detached property.

Larger properties may incur additional costs due to the increased drainage network.

Pre-cleaning before a survey

For us to carry out an accurate CCTV drainage survey, the pipework needs to be clear enough to provide an unobstructed view of its condition.

If blockages, heavy debris, grease, silt or other build-up are present, a pre-clean may be required before the survey can be completed. This allows our camera equipment to obtain a clear view of the pipework and helps us accurately identify any defects or issues within the drainage system.

Where a pre-clean is required, an additional charge of £80 will apply. The reason the pre-clean was necessary, along with when it was carried out during the survey, will be clearly documented within your CCTV survey report.
