In short
A CCTV drain survey feeds a waterproof camera through your drainage to show the condition of every accessible run, end to end. Every defect we find is graded to the WRc MSCC5 standard — the classification used by Scottish Water and UK drainage contractors — and you receive a PDF report with a drain map, photos and grading. Request a fast, fixed-price quote online; there's no call-out fee and booking is form-only, no phone call needed.
Scottish Water and UK drainage contractors use the WRc MSCC5 classification to describe pipe defects consistently — a grade means the same thing to your solicitor, your insurer, and any contractor who later works on the drain. We grade every defect we find to this standard rather than a vague "good/bad" description, so the report stands up to scrutiny during a property transaction or an insurance claim.
Fill in the online form with your postcode and a brief description of the property. We confirm a fixed price and a convenient time — no phone call needed.
Our engineer accesses the drainage through existing manholes and inspection chambers and feeds a waterproof HD camera through every accessible run.
Every defect found — cracks, root ingress, displaced joints, bellied sections — is classified against the WRc MSCC5 standard used across the UK drainage industry.
You receive a written report with annotated footage, MSCC5 grading, and a drain map, usually within 24 hours — ready to share with a solicitor, surveyor, or insurer.
Every survey is quoted as a fixed price before we attend, based on which of these scopes fits your property — never an hourly rate, and never a surprise on the day.

A CCTV survey shows the internal condition of your drains, identifying blockages, cracks, root ingress, collapsed sections, and other issues with detailed footage. Every defect we find is graded to the WRc MSCC5 standard — the same classification used by Scottish Water and UK drainage contractors — so the findings mean the same thing to your solicitor, insurer, or any contractor who later works on the drain.
You receive a PDF report with annotated screenshots, a written condition summary, WRc MSCC5 grading for each defect found, and a drain map showing pipe routes and defect locations — usually delivered within 24 hours.
