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 Billinge the issues that most often show on CCTV are fat and wet-wipe blockages, root ingress and the occasional displaced joint — we flag and code each one to MSCC5 so the report has weight with conveyancers.
