Need drainage surveys in Newcastle? PK Plumbing covers drain unblocking, jetting and CCTV surveys across Newcastle, Gateshead and Jesmond with clear pricing and guaranteed workmanship.
Latest drainage surveys near Newcastle (NE1): Shower fault diagnosed near The Bar, Newcastle upon Tyne by Joseph after the electric shower had lost pressure. The work was replaced and the new unit commissioned..
In Newcastle we work a lot of Victorian terraces, Tyneside flats, and newer estates out toward the ring. Heaton and Jesmond still throw up microbore heating and boxed-in boilers; newer builds are usually combis but access can be awkward. When the heating dies or a bathroom needs sorting, we tell you what we found, what it costs, and gas work is done by Gas Safe registered engineers.
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.
Reporting matters as much as the pass: customers in Newcastle get readable summaries alongside MP4s — same standard around Gateshead, Jesmond, and Heaton.
What you can expect
Choosing us for drainage surveys in Newcastle means inspection-first: watchable footage, plain-English notes, and no pressure to bundle jetting you didn’t ask for.
When you need a CCTV drain survey in Newcastle
A survey is inspection-first: you get a clear picture of offsets, roots, displaced joints and structural defects where the line is visible — the kind of detail a verbal “it’s fine” never replaces.
Older clay and shared laterals are common in this area; we’re used to tight gardens, manholes and explaining responsibility boundaries in the notes.
Common questions in Newcastle
- Do you cover all of Newcastle, not just the city centre?
- Yes — Fenham, Gosforth, Heaton, Byker and the rest of the city we serve. We route a local engineer when we can.
- Can you attend same day for emergencies?
- For real emergencies — big leaks, no heating, no hot water — we try to get there the same day. Call and we will give you a straight arrival window.
- Do you understand older Newcastle properties?
- Yes. Plenty of homes still have microbore, old steel, or heating that has been patched over the years. We fault-find properly instead of chasing one error code.
Typical work we see in Newcastle
- Tyneside flats and terraces: microbore rads, cold rooms, combis on pipework that needs a proper look.
- Tight access jobs — boxed-in boilers, shared supplies, leaks that need isolating fast for neighbours.
- Drains where old clay meets plastic repairs; we put a camera down when the same line keeps blocking.

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.
