Buying a property or planning building work?
We offer CCTV inspections for customers buying properties, but do not currently provide formal coded homebuyer or build-over survey reports. If a solicitor, lender or other adviser requires a formal coded report, you will need a provider offering that report type.
Choose an inspection that answers your question
Explain whether you need to understand a recurring restriction, assess suspected damage or gather drainage information for a purchase. The area to inspect and the useful evidence depend on that purpose. Share any previous survey findings with the enquiry.

Understand what the camera can reach
An internal inspection needs suitable access and a clear view of the pipe. Obstructions, deposits or inaccessible sections can limit the work. Discuss how any preparation or clearance would be agreed and how limitations will be explained in the outputs you commission.
Decide what needs to be delivered
You receive CCTV video footage, photographs or screenshots of any problems identified, and recommendations for drain cleaning, repairs or relining. A written summary of findings is available where required. We aim to provide footage and findings within 24–48 hours.
Your Winchester service questions
What can a CCTV drain survey identify?
A camera inspection can reveal visible blockages, deposits, root ingress and structural defects within accessible pipework. It helps assess what is happening inside the drain without excavating the whole route.
When is a CCTV survey useful?
It can help investigate recurring blockages, suspected damage or drainage concerns before property work. Explain what you need to find out so the inspection covers the relevant sections.
Will I receive footage and a written report?
You receive CCTV video footage, photographs or screenshots of any problems identified, and recommendations for drain cleaning, repairs or relining. A written summary of findings is available where required. We aim to provide footage and findings within 24–48 hours. We offer CCTV inspections for customers buying properties, but do not currently provide formal coded homebuyer or build-over survey reports.
Will the drains need cleaning first?
Sometimes. Deposits or a blockage can prevent the camera from progressing or obscure the pipe walls. Any preparation or clearance needed should be discussed, including whether it is included in the quote.
Can the camera inspect every part of the system?
Not always. Access points, obstructions and pipe condition can limit the inspection. Ask which sections can be surveyed and how any areas that could not be inspected will be explained.
How long does a survey take?
The visit length depends on the drainage layout, access and any preparation needed. We aim to provide footage and findings within 24–48 hours. Tell us about any purchase or project deadline when arranging the inspection.
How much does the work cost?
We quote for the work your property needs. The price depends on the problem, access, preparation and attendance arrangements. When requesting a quote, ask what is included and whether VAT or additional investigation charges apply.
