CCTV drain surveys — domestic & commercial in Gateshead
Need cctv drain surveys in Gateshead? PK Plumbing covers drain unblocking, jetting and CCTV surveys across Gateshead, Low Fell and Wrekenton with clear pricing and guaranteed workmanship.
Latest cctv drain surveys near Gateshead (NE9): Kitchen waste cleared near Olive Gardens Low Fell Fell after wipes were found blocking the soil stack by Joseph. The work was rodded clear and flushed through with water..
Gateshead work for us runs from Low Fell and Birtley through Felling and Heworth. Hills, post-war estates and denser terraces all behave differently — combis lose pressure on rises, older rad circuits run cold at the far end, and clay drains on slopes are a regular call. We price the job before we dig in and we test before we leave.
Recent CCTV survey work in Gateshead
Example 1
A buyer in Gateshead 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 Gateshead 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 Gateshead 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.

Need a plumber in Gateshead?
Camera surveys keep us busy across Gateshead, Low Fell, Wrekenton, and Felling and similar streets — homebuyers, insurers, businesses and homeowners who want proof, not another verbal assurance.
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 Gateshead
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 Gateshead
- Do you work on both sides of the Tyne from Gateshead?
- We cover Gateshead borough and link jobs with our wider Tyne & Wear team. You are not passed to a call centre.
- Can you help with blocked drains and smells?
- Yes. We clear blockages, jet when it needs it, and use CCTV if the cause is not obvious — better than paying for the same clear twice.
- Are quotes fixed upfront?
- Planned work gets a clear written scope. On diagnostic jobs we say what is included before we start so you can say yes or no.
Typical work we see in Gateshead
- Hill streets and terraces: pressure drops, slow heating loops, drains that play up on gradients.
- Clay runs on older estates — proper jetting, then CCTV if smells or repeats come back.
- Boiler jobs on busy Tyne corridors; we balance older rad circuits and test on gas before we go.

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 Gateshead handles that as a separate quoted job — so you’re not sold jetting when you only booked a survey.
