Insurance work: reports include the WRc defect log, plan diagram and full video file as standard, not as a paid add-on.
Pre-purchase context: in Bamber Bridge the issues that most often show on CCTV are legacy industrial drainage, unmapped culverts and yard interceptor issues — we flag and code each one to MSCC5 so the report has weight with conveyancers.
Sonde tracing: Comfortable with M6 commercial yard interceptor and grease management work — useful when we need to physically locate an unmapped run for an extension or build-over.
