CCTV surveys are invaluable in Swanage and the Purbeck villages, where drainage in older stone properties may never have been surveyed and local geology can create unexpected pipe conditions. Our surveys provide clear, accurate drainage intelligence for buyers, property managers, and homeowners.
Contact us to arrange a convenient time. We arrive at your Swanage property typically within 60-75 minutes with self-contained survey equipment — no preparation is needed on your part.
We access the drainage system through manholes or inspection chambers and feed a high-definition waterproof camera through the entire pipe network.
The camera transmits real-time footage to a monitor, allowing us to identify cracks, root ingress, displaced joints, blockages, and other defects as we progress.
You receive a written report with annotated screenshots, a pipe condition summary, and prioritised recommendations for any repairs or maintenance needed.
We survey the accessible drainage system fully, recording footage and noting all findings. Reports are detailed and professional, covering pipe condition, any defects, and prioritised recommendations.
Local tip: Swanage and Purbeck properties often have drainage installed in Purbeck stone channels rather than conventional clay or plastic pipe. Our cameras are suited to surveying these unusual configurations.
A standard residential CCTV drain survey in Swanage typically costs between £150 and £300 depending on property size and drainage complexity. We provide a fixed quote beforehand. Properties such as Purbeck stone cottages, Victorian seaside terraces, holiday chalets and chalets, modern bungalows, and rural farmhouses with larger drainage networks may sit towards the upper end.
