Accurate, Non-Invasive Drain Inspections in Twickenham & Surrounding Areas
Blocked drains, foul odours, slow drainage, or recurring leaks often signal hidden issues within your pipes. Without a professional inspection, problems like root ingress, collapsed drains, or structural defects can go undetected — leading to expensive damage and disruption later.
At Drain Master UK, we specialise in CCTV drain surveys and inspections, using the latest camera technology to deliver clear, accurate diagnostics without unnecessary digging. Serving Twickenham, Kingston, Surbiton, Richmond, and South West London, our engineers provide 24/7 inspections and detailed drainage reports for both residential and commercial properties.
Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, or business owner, our surveys identify blockages, cracks, leaks, and structural defects quickly, saving you time, money, and uncertainty.
With over 30 years of experience, our fully guaranteed services give you complete visibility into the health of your drainage system and the peace of mind to make informed decisions.
If you own a property, you will know that your drainage system must comply with relevant regulations and standards. At Drain Master UK, we offer one-off or routine CCTV drain inspections, followed by a detailed assessment of the condition of your drainage system. The CCTV drain assessment report we provide can be used to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements. We make it easy for property managers, home and business owners to keep a thorough record of inspections and drain maintenance activities, which also come in handy for insurance purposes and property valuations. We work tirelessly to achieve the safe and environmentally responsible management of wastewater, stormwater and sewage. A fully operational drainage system is crucial for protecting the environment under the Environmental Protection Act and maintaining public health under the Water Industry Act. Routine maintenance is the only way to ensure your drainage problems never get out of control.

Our CCTV drain surveys use high-definition cameras that travel deep into your underground drainage system to identify problems such as blockages, cracks, displaced joints, root ingress, and collapsed sections. This method provides a clear picture of your pipework without the need for excavation. Once complete, you’ll receive a full digital report with video footage, images, and expert recommendations for the most effective repairs. By pinpointing issues precisely, we save you from unnecessary work and keep costs transparent.
Buying a property is a major investment, and hidden drainage problems can lead to expensive repairs later. Our homebuyer drain surveys provide a thorough inspection of the property’s underground drains before you exchange contracts. We highlight issues such as cracked pipes, root damage, or structural defects, giving you the evidence you need to negotiate with sellers or budget for future repairs. Many mortgage lenders and insurers now recommend a drain survey as standard, making this a cost-effective way to protect your investment.
For businesses, drainage issues can cause serious disruption, compliance problems, and costly downtime. Our commercial and industrial drain surveys provide in-depth reports and mapping tailored to the needs of offices, restaurants, schools, care facilities, and industrial sites. We work around your schedule, offering out-of-hours and weekend appointments to minimise disruption to your operations. With our detailed video reports, you’ll have everything you need for compliance checks, planned maintenance, and long-term drainage management.
Knowing the precise layout of your underground drains is essential for construction projects, extensions, or major refurbishments. Our drain mapping and asset location services use specialist technology to create accurate drainage plans, showing the position and depth of every pipe and access point. These maps are invaluable for architects, surveyors, developers, and commercial property owners, ensuring works are compliant with building regulations and avoiding costly mistakes during excavation or redevelopment.
LEARN MOREPrevention is always better than cure. Our preventative drain maintenance services combine regular CCTV inspections with high-pressure water jetting and descaling to clear grease, fat, limescale, and debris before they cause major blockages. This is particularly important for high-demand sites such as restaurants, hotels, schools, and care homes, where drainage systems face heavy daily use. Scheduled maintenance reduces the risk of emergencies, keeps your drains flowing freely, and extends the lifespan of your pipework.
LEARN MOREA CCTV drain survey uses advanced camera equipment to inspect the inside of your pipes. The camera captures live video footage, allowing engineers to identify blockages, cracks, leaks, and other issues without excavation.
Costs vary depending on the length of pipework and complexity of the system. Standard surveys for small residential properties are affordable, while larger or commercial inspections may cost more. We provide fixed, transparent quotes before any work begins.

Absolutely. Pre-purchase drain surveys protect homebuyers from hidden drainage problems that could cost thousands to fix. Mortgage lenders and insurers increasingly recommend them as standard.
Our inspections identify root ingress, collapsed drains, cracked pipework, persistent blockages, corrosion, displaced joints, fatbergs, and cross-connections. This prevents misdiagnosis and ensures only the necessary repairs are carried out.
Most residential surveys take 45–90 minutes depending on access and the length of pipework. Larger or commercial systems may take longer, especially if mapping is required.

Please ensure access to manholes and internal pipework, clear the area of vehicles where covers are in driveways, restrain pets, and let us know of any recent building works or known defects.
For homes, every 3–5 years or when symptoms appear. For high-usage sites (restaurants, care homes, schools), we recommend scheduled inspections every 6–12 months.
