Survey requests during a property purchase
For a Deal purchase enquiry, name the property and explain whether the inspection is for recurring symptoms or a buyer’s requested check. Coordinate entry with the occupier or agent. Send adviser requirements and the date the findings are needed, then ask what coverage and documentation can be agreed.
Questions about inaccessible branches
Provide previous plans or reports if available, without assuming they show every current route. Ask how the survey will record missing access, obscured sections and any recommendation for a second visit. Further cleaning or locating work should be priced separately if it is outside the original brief.
Scope, visibility and limitations
A camera can only record sections it reaches and can see. Standing wastewater, deposits and obstructions may restrict the inspection. Ask for uninspected or obscured routes to be identified in the agreed findings. Preparation, clearance and a further visit should have their own agreed scope and price.
Agree the deliverables
Explain whether you need footage, written observations or location information. If a property adviser or insurer requires a particular format, share it before booking. An inspection of one accessible route does not establish the condition of every branch or replace checks outside the agreed drainage scope.
Deal booking checklist
- Full address, postcode and correct entrance.
- The affected fixture or requested inspection route.
- Entry contact, access hours and permission for shared areas.
- Person authorised to approve the quote and any document requirements.
Rats and suspected drain entry routes in Deal
If you suspect rats are entering your Deal property through the drainage, explain where activity has been seen and share any findings from a pest controller. A targeted camera inspection may reveal open connections, damaged pipework or redundant branches within accessible drains. Seeing a defect does not, by itself, prove that it is the route being used.
Drainage findings should be considered alongside the pest investigation. Any repair or suitable barrier needs an assessment of the pipe layout, access and flow; a rat blocker is not appropriate for every drain. Discuss the drainage work separately from pest treatment. Read our guide to rats in drains, investigation and prevention.
Survey prices, footage and follow-up
Before accepting a CCTV survey quote, confirm:
- Which drain runs are included and what happens if the camera cannot reach them.
- Whether preparatory unblocking or cleaning is included or charged separately.
- Which video, images or written findings will be supplied, and when.
- Whether locating a defect, a return visit or any repairs require a separate quote.
Provide any buyer, surveyor or insurer requirements before booking. Our CCTV survey and reporting guide explains how to compare inspection scopes and understand the limitations.
