Gas Safe registered PK Plumbing handles drainage surveys across Greatham, Seaton Carew and Wynyard and surrounding areas — 24/7 for genuine emergencies.
Greatham sits in our the local area patch — Older terraces, semis and newer estates often sit side by side — we match the fix to what is fitted. Typical homes include older and newer properties and different property types; common jobs involve taps, toilets, radiators and emergency callouts where water loss needs fast isolation. Drainage work in Greatham is about honest diagnosis: we explain when jetting is enough and when CCTV or repair is the real fix. Callouts often link Greatham with Seaton Carew and Wynyard on the same runs — useful when you need a team that already knows the streets.
Recent CCTV survey work in Greatham
Example 1
A buyer in Greatham 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 Greatham 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 Greatham 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.
Camera surveys keep us busy across Greatham, Seaton Carew, Wynyard, and Hartlepool and similar streets — homebuyers, insurers, businesses and homeowners who want proof, not another verbal assurance.
Our approach
If a partial obstruction blocks the view, we’ll explain options before any extra work — the survey stays the priority.
When you need a CCTV drain survey in Greatham
Most people book a camera survey for one of three reasons: you’re buying a property and want evidence before exchange; you’re dealing with insurers or neighbours and need proof of what’s in the ground; or you’ve had repeat problems and want to stop guessing.
If the camera reveals debris that blocks the view, we’ll explain whether a light clear is sensible before continuing — major clearances are quoted separately so the visit stays about reporting.
Common questions in Greatham
- Are quotes clear before you start in Greatham?
- We give written scopes for planned work where we can. For diagnostic jobs we explain what is included before we start so you can decide — no vague "turn up and see" pricing. We also cover Seaton Carew and Wynyard on the same basis.
- Are your engineers Gas Safe registered for work in Greatham?
- All gas boiler repair, installation and servicing is carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers. We will show registration on request and leave paperwork where required. We also cover Seaton Carew and Wynyard on the same basis.
- Do you use CCTV on blocked drains in Greatham?
- Yes — when a blockage keeps returning or the cause is not obvious, we camera the line so you get proof before major work. We also cover Seaton Carew and Wynyard.
- Can you jet drains in Greatham, not just rod them?
- We carry high-pressure jetting kit with the right nozzles for kitchen waste, soil pipes and yard lines — rods alone are not always enough. We also cover Seaton Carew and Wynyard.
- Do you understand older properties in Greatham?
- Yes. Many homes here still have older pipework, microbore heating, or upgrades done in layers. We diagnose properly rather than assuming a modern combi fault code tells the whole story. We also cover Seaton Carew and Wynyard on the same basis.

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