CCTV Drain Inspections in Twickenham & South West London – Same Day Service

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.


Why Choose Drain Master UK?

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.

Our CCTV Drain Survey & Inspection
Services in South West London

We provide a comprehensive range of CCTV drain inspection services across Twickenham and South West London, offering fast, reliable solutions for identifying drainage issues and keeping systems in peak condition. Whether you’re dealing with persistent blockages, planning property works, or need professional compliance reports, our services deliver accurate results backed by decades of experience.

CCTV Drain Surveys – Clear Diagnostics for Blocked or Damaged Drains

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.

Homebuyer Drain Surveys – Protecting Your Investment

Homebuyer Drain Surveys – Protecting Your Investment

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.

Commercial & Industrial Drain Surveys – Reliable Reporting for Businesses

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.

Drain Mapping & Asset Location

Drain Mapping & Asset Location

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.

Preventative Drain Maintenance – Keeping Systems Healthy

Prevention 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.

FAQs – CCTV Drain Surveys & Inspections in Twickenham & South West London

What is a CCTV drain survey and how does it work? +

A 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.

How much does a CCTV drain survey cost in London? +

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.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency drain inspections near me? +

Yes. Our engineers are available 24/7 across Twickenham, Kingston, Surbiton, Richmond, and wider South West London. We provide rapid inspections for urgent issues like flooding, severe blockages, or suspected collapses.

Do I need a drain survey before buying a house? +

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.

What problems can CCTV drain inspections detect? +

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.

How long does a CCTV drain survey take? +

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.

What will I receive after the survey? +

You’ll receive a digital report with observations, defect grading, still images, full CCTV footage, a site sketch or drain map (if requested), and clear recommendations with repair options and priorities.

Is a homebuyer drain survey accepted by mortgage lenders and insurers? +

Yes. Our reports are formatted for lender and insurer review. If remedial work is advised, your report can support quotes, approvals, and negotiations before exchange.

Do you provide drain mapping and pipe tracing with the survey? +

We can include electronic sonde tracing and mapping to show pipe routes, depths, and connectivity — ideal for extensions, build-over applications, and commercial compliance.

Can you survey drains if access covers are seized or buried? +

Usually, yes. We carry lifting gear and locators. If covers are buried or damaged, we’ll expose or replace them where feasible and always confirm any additional costs first.

Do you survey shared or Thames Water–adopted drains? +

We can inspect shared laterals for condition and blockages. Repairs on adopted sewers may require water company approval; we’ll advise on responsibilities and next steps.

Will the survey fix my blocked drain? +

The survey diagnoses the cause. If we encounter a blockage, we can clear it via jetting or mechanical cutting during the visit (pre-authorised) so the camera can proceed.

Can CCTV drain surveys find the source of bad smells or rat activity? +

Yes. We identify open joints, fractures, and redundant connections that let odours or rodents escape. We can also smoke or dye test where needed and recommend sealing or relining.

Do you offer pre- and post-repair CCTV surveys? +

Absolutely. We document defects before works and verify success afterwards — essential for CIPP relining, patch repairs, or warranty records.

What preparation is required before you arrive? +

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.

How often should drains be inspected? +

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.

Do you cover both foul and surface water systems? +

Yes — we survey foul (sewage) and surface water (rainwater) networks, including soakaways and gullies, and can confirm cross-connections with dye testing if required.

What are your payment options and turnaround times for reports? +

We accept major cards and bank transfer. Most residential reports are delivered within 24–48 hours; same-day summaries can be provided on request.

Testimonials

Unblocking kitchen sink and clearing pipes.

Work carried out quickly and efficiently. Spencer was friendly and polite and discussed all aspects of the job with me.

Customer in Twickenham August 22, 2019

Cleared a waste pipe from the washing machine

The blockage turned out to be more difficult than expected. They investigated thoroughly and stuck with it until the problem was resolved. They gave advice how to prevent this reoccurring. Talked through the problem with me. Really happy with the work completed.

Customer in Twickenham August 22, 2019

Cleared a blocked external drain.

Spencer showed me the problem before starting work. The drain was full of fat, built up over a period of two years. I was offered a high pressure jetting of the pipes as an extra, which I accepted. I have used this family company three times over the past six years and have found them to be very professional and reasonably priced. I have no hesitation in recommending them. The job took around an hour to complete.

Customer in Teddington August 22, 2019

Prompt service on same day and problem solved. Very pleasant to deal with
