Home Buyer Drain Survey Reading

Yes. A home buyer survey is written for purchase decisions. It focuses on risk, likely causes of future issues, and what should be addressed before exchange. You still get a CCTV inspection, but the reporting is more buyer-friendly and suited to conveyancing.

Yes. We often attend properties in Reading and nearby areas such as Tilehurst, Earley and Woodley with estate agents, sellers, or keyholders. As long as we can access outside areas and inspection points, we can complete the checks and provide a report you can share afterwards.

In many cases, yes. We can often identify connections and likely routes where visible during the inspection. If the setup is unclear, we’ll explain what we could confirm, what we could not, and what that means in practical terms.

We’ll inspect everything we can access and clearly note any limitations. If access points are missing or covered, we can advise the best next step, such as locating additional chambers or arranging further checks once access is possible.

We can check surface water drainage points and discuss signs of poor drainage on site. If the property relies on a soakaway, we can advise on the most sensible follow-on checks depending on access and the type of system.

Yes. Buyers often use the findings to request repairs, adjust the offer, or ask for a retention. We present issues clearly with supporting images, so it is easier to explain the risk during negotiation.

We are based in Reading and cover surrounding areas including Wokingham, Bracknell and Maidenhead, so we can often attend promptly where scheduling allows. Report turnaround depends on survey complexity and workload, but we keep it moving and deliver findings in a shareable format.

Yes. If you decide to proceed, we can quote for remedial work such as clearance, descaling, root cutting, relining, or targeted repairs. It keeps things simple because the team who inspected the drains already understands the site and the findings.
