The survey sheet — every call is one of three

What we're looking at.

Thirteen years of lifted covers says your drain is doing one of three things. Find yours on the sheet — the price logic is already stamped next to it.

Fault 01 — same-day work

Blocked

Cleared on the first visit wherever the pipe allows. High-pressure drain jetting cuts through grease, scale and whatever the last decade flushed — blocked drains in Peterborough are what we do before lunch, and gullies and soakaways get the same treatment.

— Wet wipes. It's always wet wipes.

Fault 02 — repair work

Broken

Cracked, collapsed or root-riddled. Root ingress gets cut out and the pipe patch-lined in place — no-dig drain repair where the pipe allows, honest excavation and replacement where it doesn't. You see the fault on the footage before anyone quotes anything.

— The willow never asks permission. Neither do its roots.

Fault 03 — diagnosis

Unknown

Something's wrong and nobody can say what. A CCTV drain survey sends the camera down the line and comes back with footage, a written report and a fixed quote for any repair — so you know exactly what you're dealing with before you spend another pound.

— Guesswork costs more than cameras.

Survey · priced up front

Method — a CCTV drain survey, start to finish

Down the pipe.

A CCTV drain survey in Peterborough is not a phrase on a leaflet. It's a camera on a reel, a counter ticking off the metres, and every fault found, filmed and written down. This is one, frame by frame.

DIST 000.0m

Frame 01 — the chamber

The cover comes off and the camera goes in at the chamber. Everything it sees is recorded from the first centimetre — and the recording is yours, not ours.

Frame 02 — the first finding

A joint that's moved. Small now, a collapse later. It goes in the report with its exact position, so any repair is priced to the metre — not to the worst case a salesman can imagine.

Frame 03 — the culprit

Roots across the bore like a beard. This is the blockage that "keeps coming back" every few months. Root ingress removal cuts it out; a patch liner stops the regrowth — usually with no digging at all.

Survey complete · report issued

The verdict

  • The recorded footage — handed over, yours to keep.
  • A written report, fault by fault, with positions and sizes.
  • A fixed quote for any repair, agreed before anything is booked.

For the house-buyer

A pre-purchase drain survey in Peterborough costs a fraction of a collapsed pipe discovered after completion. Find it while it's still the seller's problem.

For the repeat blockage

If the same drain blocks twice a year, the blockage isn't the fault — it's the symptom. The camera finds the cause, so you stop paying to clear the same metre of pipe.

What it costs

Quoted up front, agreed before we book it, fixed once it's agreed. And if the line turns out to be clear and sound, the report says that too — we don't invent work.

You see everything we see. Then you decide.

The promise — stamped before work starts

The price, before the cover comes off.

01

The price is agreed before work starts. Not revised afterwards, once your kitchen's involved.

02

It doesn't change when the job turns ugly. It was our quote; it stays our quote.

03

If we can't clear it, we tell you why and what it will actually take — not a bigger number pulled out of the drain.

The people — Foul & Storm, since 2013

We've seen worse.

Foul & Storm has been under Peterborough's streets since 2013 — thirteen years of lifted covers, jetting hoses, root cutters and camera reels. Not a franchise, not a call centre: a local firm that answers for its own work and turns up in its own van. Whatever your drain has done, it isn't the worst thing we've seen this month. It probably isn't the worst thing we've seen this week.

Doing it properly isn't a slogan here; it's a list. Qualified people on every job. £5m of public liability insurance behind them. The CCTV footage handed over, not hoarded. The fault explained in plain English, the fixed price named before the cover comes off, and the mess taken away like we were never there.

It's a filthy job. That's why you shouldn't do it — and why we're serious about it.
