Why FS Group
A CCTV drain survey sends a camera through each pipe and records what it finds. Our engineers survey drains from Gravesend and Rochester to Tonbridge and Ashford. Older Medway streets drain through clay pipes that crack at the joints. Newer estates around Ashford have plastic pipes that can sag or come apart. The footage shows which faults you have, where they sit and what a fix involves.
A Look and See camera check starts at this price. Full surveys and drain mapping cost more, and you hear the price before you book.
See all our ratesReally happy with the service so far that Mitch provided. He turned up at short notice to do a cctv survey, was polite and courteous and knew what he was doing. Advised me on what he was going to look at and gave me a summary of his findings and recommendations, and should get the report back within the week. Would definitely recommend!
Mitch arrived on time and undertook a full site survey for us in a professional and friendly manner. Would highly recommend
They arrived on time, completed the survey and emailed out the report with 72 hours of their appointment.
Really helpful friendly service both on the phone to book the job and the engineer, Gabriel, who did the drain survey. Very nice company to deal with.
Mitch done a great job surveying the drains - thank you.
Just got our drains unblocked by this company. Quick and reliable service and the rates are reasonable compared to other companies in the area. Jordan was very helpful and showed us the deflects in our plumbing that needs to be rectified to avoid further blockages. Will definitely recommend this company.
Where we work
The towns our survey engineers visit, grouped by area, with each postcode.
Is your Kent town missing? Phone and we confirm a survey there.
Drain ownership
DA, ME and TN postcodesKent drains range from Victorian clay to modern plastic. A survey is the only reliable way to know which you have.
Who we work for
Buying in Sevenoaks or Gillingham? We film the drains of the house before exchange, while there is still time to negotiate.
Between tenancies, a survey records the state of the drains. The footage gives you a record to check against if a pipe fails later.

How it works
Call 0800 689 3497 and say why you need it. Mention an exchange or build date, so we book in time.
You hear the survey price on the phone, before an engineer drives out to Rochester or Sevenoaks.
You see the findings on screen before we leave, and the written report follows. Any repair we do carries a six-month guarantee, T&Cs apply.
What we see most
Victorian pipes in Rochester and Chatham have mortar joints that crack with age. Waste catches on the edge and builds up.
Old garden trees around Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells send roots into hairline gaps. Inside the pipe they grow into a mat.
Much of Kent sits on clay that dries out and cracks in a hot summer. Over the years that movement shifts pipe sections apart.
On newer estates, a plastic pipe laid on poor backfill can dip. Water then sits in the low spot and drops silt.
Kitchen fat sets hard on the pipe wall and scale builds on top. Together they narrow the pipe until it blocks.
Older houses often have drains with no plan. The camera shows which pipe joins which, and whose section a fault is on.
