When commercial premises need a survey
Pre-lease & acquisition due diligence
Know the true condition of the drainage before you sign a lease or complete a purchase. Our independent report flags defects so liability is clear from day one.
Planned preventative maintenance
Build CCTV surveys into your maintenance schedule to catch root ingress, scale and structural defects early — before they become emergency call-outs and downtime.
Insurance & compliance
Timestamped HD footage and a written condition report give insurers, loss adjusters and managing agents the documented evidence they need to settle or sign off.
Pre-development condition surveys
Establish the drainage condition of a site before work begins. We map and record what's there so developers and contractors can plan around it with confidence.

Every commercial survey is delivered as a clear, professional package — written for property professionals and ready to pass to a solicitor, insurer or managing agent without further interpretation.

Private drain or Yorkshire Water's responsibility?
On commercial sites it's often unclear which sections are private drains and which are Yorkshire Water's adopted sewers. Since 2011 many shared lateral drains were adopted. Our surveys identify the boundary between private drainage and the public sewer, so you know exactly what your business is responsible for maintaining — and what Yorkshire Water should fix at no cost to you.
