WRc-Coded Drain Camera Surveys in Heywood
HD push-rod and crawler cameras with sonde tracing — full WRc-coded report supplied for insurance, pre-purchase or build-over.
Build-over consent in Heywood starts with a CCTV survey. Compact Victorian terraces around the market, large council-era estates toward Darnhill and the huge Heywood Distribution Park on the south edge. If your extension footprint crosses a drain run, United Utilities want a sonde-traced plan with depths before they'll consent — exactly the package we supply as standard, not as an upsell.

What's specific to cctv survey in Heywood
Postcodes covered: OL10 · typical response 40–50 mins
Sonde tracing: Heywood Distribution Park is one of the largest logistics hubs in the North West — planned commercial jetting rounds run here regularly — 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.
Pre-purchase context: in Heywood 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.
