Commercial CCTV drainage surveys in Central Scotland
Ambler Group is a specialist surveying company. Alongside PAS128 utility surveys, GPR and topographical surveys, we carry out CCTV drainage surveys for commercial sites and construction projects. Our surveyors are based in Glasgow and Falkirk, which puts Glasgow, Edinburgh, Falkirk, Cumbernauld and Stirling within easy daily reach, with Perth a short run up the M9 and A9.
We are not a blocked-drain call-out firm. We are surveyors, so what you get is evidence you can act on: graded defects, located on a plan, with the footage to back it up, and drawings that can go straight into a design, a dilapidations schedule or a handover file.
We also carry out PAS128 utility and GPR surveys in Central Scotland and topographical surveys in Central Scotland. Find out more about our drainage surveys and other services across the UK on the main Ambler Group website.

Find out moreWhy Central Scotland sites need a proper drainage survey
Much of the drainage under Glasgow and Edinburgh is old, combined and poorly recorded. Industrial estates from the 1960s–80s often have extensions, yard resurfacing and change-of-use connections that never made it onto a drawing. New schemes, meanwhile, must prove their drainage to Scottish Water before sewers can vest, and to Building Standards under sections 3.6 and 3.7 of the non-domestic Technical Handbook.
A CCTV drainage survey answers the questions that matter on a commercial site: what is there, where does it go, what condition is it in, and what will it cost to put right. Booking it early in a transaction, a fit-out or a construction programme is almost always cheaper than finding out when a yard floods or an excavator hits an unrecorded run.
Contact usCCTV drainage surveys for construction projects in Central Scotland
Main contractors, groundworkers, M&E contractors and developers use us at every stage of a build, not just when something goes wrong. Across Central Scotland we support contractors on everything from city-centre refurbishments in Glasgow and Edinburgh to new distribution sheds along the M8 and M9, and housing-led and commercial schemes that need their sewers proved before vesting with Scottish Water.
Pre-construction
Existing drainage traced, surveyed and drawn with levels and depths – combined with a PAS128 utility survey so the design team and groundworkers start from one accurate set of drawings.
During construction
Checks on new runs before backfilling or surfacing, connection surveys into existing sewers, and investigation when existing drainage is damaged or found unrecorded.
Pre-handover & vesting
Full CCTV of new foul and surface water drainage before practical completion, retention release or a request to vest sewers with Scottish Water, with defects listed for remedial works.
As-built records
Drainage as-built drawings in CAD and survey footage for the O&M manual and health and safety file.

CCTV Drainage Surveys in Central Scotland | Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Which areas of Scotland do you cover for CCTV drainage surveys?
A: We cover Glasgow, Edinburgh, Falkirk and Grangemouth, Cumbernauld, Stirling, Perth, North and South Lanarkshire, West Lothian, Paisley and Renfrewshire, Dunfermline and Fife. We also travel further afield across Scotland for larger commercial projects.
Q2: Do you carry out domestic drain surveys?
A: Our Scottish drainage service is focused on commercial, industrial and construction clients – facilities managers, landlords, developers and contractors. That focus is why our reports and drawings are set up for facilities teams, designers and Scottish Water rather than homebuyers.
Q3: Can you survey drainage and utilities on the same visit?
A: Yes. Because we are a utility surveying company first, we can combine a CCTV drainage survey with a PAS128 utility survey, GPR and a topographical survey, so you get one coordinated set of drawings instead of three contractors on site.
Q4: How much does a commercial CCTV drainage survey cost?
A: Commercial surveys are priced on the extent of the network, access, traffic management and whether jetting is needed. Send us a site plan with the areas marked and we will come back with a fixed quote, usually the same or next working day.
Q5: What do I need to provide to get a quote?
A: A site address or postcode, a plan or aerial image with the areas or runs you need surveyed, any known access restrictions or working-hours limits, and what the survey is for (purchase, design, handover, defects or maintenance).
