Pre-Purchase CCTV Drain Surveys in Hindley
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 Hindley is the difference between guessing and knowing. Hindley Green's mature semis are classic root-ingress territory. Platt Bridge sees recurring shared-drain issues across long rear 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 Hindley given the older terraces along the market street corridor, post-war semis through hindley green, and ex-council stock across platt bridge.

What's specific to cctv survey in Hindley
Postcodes covered: WN2 · typical response 20–30 mins
Pre-purchase context: in Hindley the issues that most often show on CCTV are root ingress at salt-glazed joints, fat build-up and the occasional pitch fibre deformation — we flag and code each one to MSCC5 so the report has weight with conveyancers.
Sonde tracing: Reached comfortably from Shevington in under 20 minutes outside rush hour — 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.
