CCTV Drainage Surveys in Kingston
Carrying out works in Kingston? Our CCTV drainage surveys give you a clear, accurate picture of your site’s underground drainage — without excavation delays or disruption to the programme.
We use HD crawler cameras to inspect internal pipe condition and capture key data on diameter, depth, flow direction, discharge type and overall structural health.
What you’ll receive:
- A PDF report with condition grading and mapped observations
- High-definition video footage and still images
- An indicative connectivity sketch included as standard
- Optional CAD plans when combined with a topographical or measured building survey
Ideal for pre-build risk assessments, build-over applications, and asset validation across Kingston and South West London.

Why Drainage Surveys Matter in Kingston
Kingston’s a beautiful area — but its mix of Victorian homes, riverside basements, and clay soils makes it a bit of a hotspot for drainage issues.
Here’s when you should absolutely get a survey done:
- Buying or selling a property — avoid expensive surprises after exchange.
- Planning an extension or basement conversion — check drainage layout and condition before building.
- Recurring blockages or bad smells — trace the root cause with certainty.
- Insurance claim or subsidence check — most providers now require video evidence.
- After flooding or ground movement — assess if pipes are damaged or displaced.
In short, if you need a clear picture of your drainage health — this is how you get it.
- ISO 9001:2015 certification for quality
- Construction Line Gold status
- Full membership with CICES, TSA, and Acclaim
- A team of fully CSCS-certified surveyors
