CCTV Drain Survey in Stockport
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 Stockport is the difference between guessing and knowing. Deep Victorian clay networks under adopted highway — CCTV surveys are the starting point for most projects, and CIPP lining under Wellington Road is more practical than any dig alternative. 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 Stockport given the grand edwardian semis across heaton moor and sk4, dense victorian terraces near the sk1 town centre, and 1960s tower blocks around lancashire hill.

What's specific to cctv survey in Stockport
Postcodes covered: SK1, SK2, SK3, SK4, SK5 · typical response 55–65 mins
Pre-purchase context: in Stockport 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: M60 J1 reach — around 30 miles from Shevington; scheduled and pre-booked work only for lining and CCTV — 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.
