Below you’ll find clear, straightforward answers about CCTV surveys, drain relining and our professional standards.
A CCTV drain survey is a structured internal inspection of your drainage system using specialist camera equipment.
We record, code and assess pipe condition to identify:
All inspections are carried out to MSCC5 coding standards and reported in a WRC-compliant format.
MSCC5 (Manual of Sewer Condition Classification, 5th Edition) is the recognised national standard for drainage defect classification.
It ensures defects are:
Using MSCC5 protects clients by removing guesswork.
Yes. Our WRC-compliant reports are structured, clear and evidence-backed.
They are suitable for:
Yes. We are fully qualified surveyors and members of the National Association of Drainage Contractors (NADC).
Our work follows recognised national standards, and our reporting reflects that.
Drain relining is a structural repair method where a resin-saturated liner is installed inside a damaged pipe and cured in place.
It forms a new structural pipe within the existing one — without excavation in most cases.
When properly specified and installed, drain relining is a long-term structural repair.
The key is correct assessment beforehand. Every relining project begins with a fully coded CCTV inspection to determine structural suitability.
Patch Lining is used for isolated defects such as single fractures or joint issues.
Full Length Lining is used when multiple defects exist or long-term structural rehabilitation is required.
The decision is based on defect severity, frequency and long-term viability — not preference.
There is a slight reduction in diameter, but when professionally specified this does not negatively impact flow.
Correct liner thickness and structural suitability are assessed during survey.
If a pipe is severely collapsed or structurally unstable beyond rehabilitation, excavation may be necessary.
We advise based on evidence — not convenience.
Yes. We are members of the National Association of Drainage Contractors, demonstrating commitment to recognised industry standards and best practice.
WRC-compliant reporting follows Water Research Centre guidance for structured drainage inspection documentation.
This ensures clarity, professional integrity and suitability for formal review.
Trading Standards approval reflects verified reputation, professionalism and fair trading practices.
It provides additional reassurance for domestic and commercial clients alike.
