WRc-Coded Drain Camera Surveys in Poynton
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 Poynton starts with a CCTV survey. 1930s semis and later detached homes along Park Lane, canal-side pockets of new-build and rural plots toward Middlewood. 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 Poynton
Postcodes covered: SK12 · typical response 55–65 mins
Pre-purchase context: in Poynton 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: Middlewood Way corridor — a fair share of our SK12 work is treatment-plant repair and septic soakaway diagnosis — 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.
