The issue on this job
The concern was not an active blockage but the risk of hidden defects in an older run before the buyer committed. Access to the property was limited to a short vendor-approved slot, so the survey needed to be completed cleanly and reported the same day.
Older properties in this part of Chiswick often still have mixed materials and previous patch repairs, so a visual check above ground would not have been enough.
How we handled it
We carried out a CCTV drain survey in Chiswick, traced the main foul run, and recorded the condition of the chambers, joints, and any changes in pipe material.
The report separated minor maintenance items from anything that would affect immediate purchase risk, which gave the buyer a practical basis for renegotiation rather than a generic list of observations.
What the result was
Output
First-visit diagnosis and repair outcome
Delivery
Kept the programme moving
Programme
a same-day inspection and report turnaround
The client had a same-day record of the system condition and a clear view of the items worth pricing before completion. That kept the purchase moving without relying on assumptions about the age of the drainage.
If you are dealing with a pre-purchase drainage check before exchange on a edwardian family house, the next step is a clear scope and quote.

This sort of survey is usually worth doing where a period property has limited drainage history or signs of patch repair, especially if a buyer needs evidence quickly rather than a full invasive investigation.
