Drainage problems range from a single slow-running sink to a more serious blockage affecting the whole property, and sometimes the cause is not obvious from the surface. We provide drainage services across Cheam and Sutton, including CCTV drain surveys and high-pressure jetting.

A CCTV survey lets us see inside a drain run to identify exactly what is causing a problem, whether that is a blockage, a collapsed section, root ingress, or a misaligned joint, rather than guessing based on symptoms alone. This is particularly useful for recurring blockages where the cause has not been identified.

For general blocked drain or blocked toilet issues, our dedicated pages on those topics go into more detail; this page covers drainage work more broadly, including surveys and jetting.

Drainage services we provide

  • CCTV drain surveys to identify the cause of recurring issues
  • High-pressure water jetting to clear blockages and build-up
  • Drain unblocking for toilets, sinks and outside drains
  • Root ingress and collapsed drain identification
  • Drainage advice ahead of property purchase or renovation

When a CCTV survey is worth having

If a drain keeps blocking despite being cleared, or you are buying a property and want to understand the condition of its drainage, a CCTV survey provides clear evidence of what is happening inside the pipe rather than relying on guesswork.

What jetting involves

High-pressure water jetting clears blockages and built-up grease, scale or debris from the inside of a drain, restoring proper flow. It is more thorough than rodding for stubborn or repeated blockages.

How charging works

Drainage and jetting work, including CCTV surveys, is charged at our daytime drainage rate, with a one hour minimum and 30 minute increments after that. See /our-rates for current pricing.

Drainage — common questions

What is a CCTV drain survey?

It is an inspection using a waterproof camera fed through the drain to identify blockages, damage or other issues inside the pipe that cannot be seen from above ground.

When would I need drain jetting rather than rodding?

Jetting is generally more effective for stubborn blockages, grease build-up, or drains that block repeatedly, since it clears the full internal diameter of the pipe.

Can a CCTV survey help before buying a property?

Yes, it can identify existing drainage issues such as root ingress or damaged pipework before you commit to a purchase.

Do you provide a report after a CCTV survey?

We can discuss findings with you following the survey and describe what was found, which can be useful for records or for a solicitor.

Is drainage work charged differently to plumbing work?

Yes, drainage and jetting work has its own daytime rate, listed on /our-rates alongside our plumbing, heating and gas rates.
