    Survey of Drains by CCTV

    Posted 19 March

    We opted for a full drain survey following initial concerns raised by a homebuyers survey. We are glad We did as the finding and the report provided enabled us to go back to the vendor and renegotiate on the price of the property. When we are in a position to fix the drains we will not hesitate to use this company.

Alan even reduced the quote to account for the shorter time on site. He also offered advice regarding dealing with insurers before h
