How much does a commercial CCTV drain survey cost?

Our commercial CCTV surveys start from around £150 for a standard system. Larger sites with multiple runs or complex drainage layouts will cost more. We'll give you a fixed quote before booking, based on the size and complexity of your site.

How long does a CCTV drain survey take?

Most commercial surveys are completed within 1-2 hours on site. Larger properties or sites with extensive drainage may take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeframe when you book so you can plan access accordingly.

What do I get after the survey?

You'll receive a full written report detailing the condition of your drainage, an annotated site plan showing drain locations and any issues found, and HD video footage of the entire survey. Reports are typically delivered within 24-48 hours.

Can you survey drains before I buy a commercial property?

Yes - pre-purchase surveys are one of the most common reasons businesses book with us. We can identify problems that might affect your purchase decision or give you negotiating leverage. Our reports are accepted by solicitors for property transactions.

Do you survey drains for new builds and developments?

Yes. We work with developers, contractors, and architects to survey existing drainage before construction, verify new installations before sign-off, and provide as-built surveys for completed projects.

Can you survey drains at occupied commercial premises?

Yes. We survey shops, restaurants, offices, and other occupied premises regularly. The equipment is compact and the process is quick - most businesses stay open throughout. We'll work around your trading hours if needed.

What if you find a problem during the survey?

We'll explain exactly what we've found, show you the footage, and give you options. If it's something we can fix, we'll quote for the repair there and then. If it needs specialist work or involves shared drains, we'll advise on next steps.

Do I need to prepare anything before the survey?

We'll need access to manholes and inspection chambers on your property. If any are located inside the building, under furniture, or in areas that need clearing, it helps to have that sorted before we arrive. We'll confirm what's needed when you book.

How quickly can I get a survey booked?

We often have same-day and next-day availability. For urgent surveys - property completions, planning deadlines, or pre-construction requirements - call us and we'll do our best to fit you in.
