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 arrange a convenient time. We arrive at your Oldham property typically within 75-90 minutes with self-contained survey equipment — no preparation is needed on your part.
We access the drainage system through manholes or inspection chambers and feed a high-definition waterproof camera through the entire pipe network.
The camera transmits real-time footage to a monitor, allowing us to identify cracks, root ingress, displaced joints, blockages, and other defects as we progress.
You receive a written report with annotated screenshots, a pipe condition summary, and prioritised recommendations for any repairs or maintenance needed.
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.
A standard residential CCTV drain survey in Oldham typically costs between £150 and £300 depending on property size and drainage complexity. We provide a fixed quote beforehand. Properties such as Pennine stone cottages, Victorian terraces, converted mills, and hilltop properties with larger drainage networks may sit towards the upper end.
We strongly recommend a pre-purchase drain survey for Oldham properties, especially older builds. Hidden drainage defects can cost thousands to repair and are not covered by standard homebuyer surveys. A CCTV inspection gives you negotiating power and peace of mind.
A typical residential survey in Oldham takes between one and two hours. You receive the full report with annotated footage within 24 hours. Larger properties or those with complex drainage layouts may require additional time.
