See inside the pipe before you pay for guesswork

CCTV Drain Surveys in Bedford

A waterproof camera is fed directly into the drain run, showing root ingress, cracks, displaced joints or collapses on screen — so any repair is based on what's actually wrong, not a guess.

When a CCTV survey makes sense

Used for diagnosis, not just emergencies

CCTV surveys aren't only for active blockages. They're commonly used before buying a property, after repeated blockages in the same spot, or to support an insurance claim with proper photographic evidence.

  • Pre-purchase drain surveys before exchange
  • Recurring blockages in the same location
  • Tree root ingress investigation
  • Insurance claim evidence and reporting
  • Confirming a repair has actually worked
Indicative pricing: A standard CCTV survey with a written report typically starts from around £95–£150 depending on the length of run and access. If a blockage needs clearing first to get the camera through, that's quoted separately.
