Beverley is the county town of the East Riding of Yorkshire — a handsome medieval market town dominated by the magnificent Beverley Minster, one of the finest Gothic churches in Europe. The town's well-preserved historic core, Georgian Saturday Market, and the racecourse that has occupied the Westwood common since the early 18th century make it one of Yorkshire's most desirable places to live. HU17 is a premium postcode — and premium properties deserve thorough drainage inspection.

Why Beverley Properties Need CCTV Drain Surveys
Beverley's medieval and Georgian building stock contains some of the oldest inhabited properties in the East Riding, and their drainage connections — made at various points across several centuries — reflect that history. In the streets around the Minster, North Bar, and Saturday Market (HU17), drainage arrangements can be irregular and hard to map, with older clay and even stone-built drain sections still in use beneath some properties. The chalk geology of the East Riding also creates specific drainage conditions: permeable ground can cause soakaway issues and the gradual undermining of older pipework.
The surrounding Beverley villages and the Hull corridor — Walkington, Bishop Burton, Skidby, and Cottingham (HU16) — are popular with buyers priced out of central Beverley or seeking more space. Properties in these villages range from Victorian farmhouses to 1970s semis, and drainage condition varies accordingly. Our Beverley drainage team covers HU17 and the surrounding East Riding postcodes with professional, fast service.

Everything you need to know
A CCTV drain survey is a non-invasive visual inspection of your underground drainage system using specialist camera equipment. The camera is fed through the pipes to capture high-quality footage, allowing our engineers to identify any issues without excavation.
Most residential surveys take between 1 and 2 hours depending on the size and complexity of the drainage system. Larger commercial sites may take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeframe when you book.
Very little. Ensure access to drain inspection chambers is clear. We'll handle everything else. Our surveys are non-invasive and won't cause any disruption to your property.
Blockages, tree root intrusion, pipe collapses, cracks and fractures, displaced joints, build-up of fat and grease, and incorrect pipe gradients. Essentially anything that could cause or is causing a drainage problem.
We strongly recommend it. A homebuyer drain survey can identify problems that a standard survey may miss, potentially saving you thousands in unexpected repair costs after purchase.
Costs vary depending on the size of the property and what's required. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote and we'll give you a clear price upfront with no hidden charges.
