WRc-Coded Drain Camera Surveys in Chorley
HD push-rod and crawler cameras with sonde tracing — full WRc-coded report supplied for insurance, pre-purchase or build-over.
A proper CCTV drain survey in Chorley is the difference between guessing and knowing. Septic tanks and treatment plants are common in the rural parishes — we get a lot of soakaway failure work in winter. Buckshaw Village's adopted estates show typical new-build defects: silt-up at first manholes and builders' debris in long runs. Our HD push-rod and crawler cameras produce a fully WRc-coded drain survey report that conveyancers, insurers and water authorities accept — particularly important in Chorley given the stone-built cottages around the town centre and astley village, large estates in buckshaw village, and rural farms across the western parishes.

What's specific to cctv survey in Chorley
Postcodes covered: PR6, PR7 · typical response 25–35 mins
Pre-purchase context: in Chorley 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.
Sonde tracing: We hold the keys for several Buckshaw Village estate management groups for after-hours access — useful when we need to physically locate an unmapped run for an extension or build-over.
Insurance work: reports include the WRc defect log, plan diagram and full video file as standard, not as a paid add-on.
