CCTV drain surveys — domestic & commercial in Newcastle
PK Plumbing — drain unblocking, jetting and CCTV surveys in Newcastle and Gateshead and Jesmond. Local Gas Safe engineers, same-day when we can, fully insured.
Newcastle’s housing runs from Victorian terraces and Tyneside flats through inter-war semis to new-build estates — so heating and pipework vary street by street. We’re used to older rad systems in Heaton and Jesmond-type stock, combi swaps in newer developments, and the access headaches of boxed-in boilers and shared runs. Whether you’re on a tight deadline for a boiler breakdown or planning a bathroom refit, we quote clearly and work with Gas Safe discipline across NE1 and the wider city.
Recent CCTV survey work in Newcastle
Example 1
A buyer in Newcastle booked a drain camera survey before exchange — the vendor said the drains were fine, but slow bathroom wastes suggested otherwise.
We ran the camera from an accessible chamber and recorded the full run: connections, material changes and any defects. Footage showed a displaced clay joint catching waste — not a disaster, but real leverage for the solicitor. They received watchable files plus a short written summary.
Result: They negotiated with evidence instead of guesswork, and had a clear repair scope for after completion.
Example 2
A terraced home in Newcastle kept suffering the same kitchen sink backup every few months after quick clears elsewhere.
Instead of another blind rod pass, we surveyed when the line had enough flow to see. The camera picked up dense root ingress on a bend — the kind of fault that feels like a “normal blockage” until you look inside the pipe.
Result: They stopped paying for repeat clearances and moved to a quoted fix based on what the camera proved.
Example 3
After heavy rain, a driveway gully in Newcastle stopped taking water; the owner worried a pipe had collapsed under the hardstanding.
We surveyed from the gully toward the main, logging inverts and looking for breaks, ovality or rubble. The line was sound with a trapped silt section — no structural collapse — so major excavation wasn’t justified on the evidence.
Result: They avoided a dig-first approach, addressed the real restriction, and kept the footage for their records.
We’re honest when the line can’t be seen end-to-end — partial surveys are labelled as such rather than oversold.
Why choose us
You get files you can forward to a solicitor or insurer, not a vague phone summary.
When you need a CCTV drain survey in Newcastle
We run the camera from sensible access points, record the run, and summarise what we saw in plain English — plus watchable files you can forward. If we can’t see a section end-to-end, we say so rather than implying certainty.
After the report, any clearance or repair is your choice with costs upfront — we don’t bundle jetting into a survey you didn’t ask for.
Common questions in Newcastle
- Do you cover all of Newcastle, not just the city centre?
- Yes — we work across the city and inner suburbs (including areas like Fenham, Gosforth, Heaton, Byker and beyond) with the same standards. Your route is matched to a local engineer where possible.
- Can you attend same day for emergencies?
- We aim for same-day attendance for genuine emergencies including major leaks and total loss of heating or hot water when capacity allows — call us and we’ll give an honest arrival window.
- Do you understand older Newcastle properties?
- Yes. Many homes still have microbore heating, older steel pipe, or upgrades done in layers. We diagnose properly rather than assuming a modern combi fault code tells the whole story.
Typical work we see in Newcastle
- Terraced and Tyneside-flat stock: microbore rads, cold spots, and combis running on pipework that needs honest capacity checks.
- Tight city access — boxed-in boilers, shared supplies, and leaks where fast isolation matters for neighbours and insurers.
- Drainage callouts where older clay meets modern plastic repairs — we camera when repeats suggest more than a surface clear.

After the survey — clearance only if you need it
This page is about camera inspection and reporting. If footage shows a blockage we can clear, our blocked drain team in Newcastle handles that as a separate quoted job — so you’re not sold jetting when you only booked a survey.
