CCTV Drainage Surveys in Guildford

Planning works in Guildford? Our CCTV drainage surveys deliver fast, high-resolution drainage assessments for commercial and residential properties — helping you avoid costly surprises and stay compliant from the ground up.

Using HD crawler camera systems, we inspect internal pipe condition and capture key data: invert levels, flow direction, diameter, discharge type and any structural defects.

Included as standard:

  • A detailed PDF report with condition grading, mapped findings and photo evidence
  • High-quality video footage and stills
  • A clear connectivity sketch showing drainage layouts
  • Optional CAD files when paired with topo or measured building surveys

Whether it’s a build-over application, legacy asset check or pre-purchase survey — we provide the drainage data you need to move forward with confidence in Guildford and across Surrey.

When’s the Right Time to Book a Drainage Survey?

Guildford’s got a real mix of properties — and that means a variety of drainage systems, too. Some are decades old, some brand new. All can fail without warning.

Here’s when to call us in:

  • Buying or selling a property: Avoid hidden drainage issues and strengthen your position.
  • Planning construction: Ensure your build won’t interfere with underground services.
  • Dealing with regular blockages: Find out why it keeps happening — and where.
  • After water ingress or subsidence: Confirm or rule out drainage as the cause.
  • Filing an insurance claim: Provide visual proof of drainage damage or collapse.

Whether you’re in Merrow or the town centre, we’ve got Guildford drainage covered.

Terrain Surveys Ltd have carried out a first class service of locating a drain pipe under my garden. Particular praise must go to Gareth and Euan, the onsite operatives who performed a first class survey on an extremely hot day. Consideration and care was exercised in my and my neighbours garden. Praise must also go to Sue in the office. All requests and questions were quickly responded to. Thank you.
