Drain surveys in SE22 do not keep office hours. We run a genuine round-the-clock service covering East Dulwich and Peckham Rye, with fixed prices confirmed before any work starts.
What we cover in SE22
Our coverage of SE22 includes East Dulwich and Peckham Rye, in Southwark. Since we work the surrounding postcodes as well, a run crossing a boundary needs only one contractor.
East Dulwich is street after street of Victorian terraces, most with rear extensions and mature planting. The uniform housing stock produces a very consistent set of drainage faults.
Common causes in SE22
In SE22, these are the ones that come up again and again:
- A run that blocks again within weeks, which points to a fault in the pipe
- A purchase in progress, and no records of the drainage
- An insurer asking for evidence requiring footage and positions
- Building work about to start, which needs the drain traced accurately
Signs worth reporting
The symptoms worth reporting when you ring:
- Water sitting in a drain outside when nothing is running
- More than one appliance backing up, which points at the shared run
- Gurgling from a toilet or sink as another appliance drains
- Foul odour around a chamber that keeps coming back
How the visit works
The process is the same whatever the address, so nothing turns into an open-ended bill:
- Clear enough of the line for a usable view
- Run the camera through the full length
- Record where each defect sits, and how deep
- Provide the footage and a written summary
Before we arrive
In the meantime, there are two or three useful steps:
- Keep water use to nothing, including the washing machine and dishwasher
- Keep people and pets away from any standing waste water
- Clear access to the drain covers if you can
- Have your postcode and a description ready when you ring
Who pays for the repair
Before anyone invoices you, it is worth knowing where the fault sits. Your own run up to the boundary is your responsibility; beyond that, and on anything shared, it is generally the water company’s. We put that in writing after the visit.
What it costs in SE22
A CCTV drain survey is a fixed £300 plus VAT, footage and written summary included. Prices are fixed rather than hourly, which means a stubborn blockage costs what we said.
