Whether you're buying a stone cottage in Uppermill or investigating drainage problems at a Chadderton family home, our CCTV surveys reveal what's happening beneath the surface. This is particularly valuable in Oldham where Pennine weather conditions accelerate pipe deterioration.
Contact us to pick a time that suits you. Since access can vary by property, we bring our own survey kit and need no prep from you.
We reach the drains through manholes or small hatches. Since the camera is fully waterproof, it can travel the whole pipe in one go.
The camera sends live footage to a screen as we go. While we watch, we can spot cracks, root damage, loose joints and other faults.
You get a written report with clear photos. Since a photo alone can miss context, it also lists the pipe's condition and what to fix first.
Once the survey ends, we walk you through what the footage shows. Since the report backs up what you saw on screen, you have solid proof for any repair work or property choice.
We survey Oldham properties systematically, recording pipe condition and identifying defects. Reports include annotated footage and prioritised recommendations, accounting for the area's specific environmental factors. Local tip: Oldham's Pennine properties experience freeze-thaw cycles that can crack pipes — a CCTV survey after harsh winters catches damage before it causes blockages.
The cost depends on property size and how hard the drains are to reach. Since bigger properties have more pipes, they can take longer to check. Request a fast, fixed-price quote online. We confirm the cost first.
We strongly suggest a pre-purchase drain survey for Oldham homes, especially older builds. Since hidden drain faults can cost thousands to fix, and normal home surveys miss them, a CCTV check is worth the cost. It gives you proof to show, and peace of mind.
A typical Oldham survey takes one to two hours. Since bigger homes or tricky drains take longer, we send you the full report with footage within 24 hours regardless.
