Commercial and construction drainage surveys in Glasgow
Ambler Group carries out CCTV drainage surveys in Glasgow for facilities managers, commercial landlords, developers and main and M&E contractors.

Every survey comes with graded defects, located on a plan, backed by footage – and, where you need it, full drain mapping with levels and depths drawn up in CAD.

Glasgow’s drainage is a mix of Victorian combined sewers under the city centre and the Merchant City, and later separate systems on the industrial estates and business parks that ring the city. Old clayware and brick culverts sit alongside modern plastic, and connections added during conversions and yard works are frequently missing from any drawing.
On refurbishment and fit-out projects in the city centre, a pre-construction CCTV survey tells the design team what can be reused and what needs replacing before the programme is fixed. On estates such as Hillington, Queenslie, Cambuslang, Thistle and the Glasgow Business Park, we are typically asked to investigate recurring yard flooding, trace surface water to outfalls and interceptors, or record condition at lease end.
Typical Glasgow drainage survey instructions
- Pre-acquisition survey of a multi-unit trade counter estate, with defects priced for the buyer’s surveyor
- Pre-construction mapping of existing drainage on a city-centre office-to-residential conversion
- Repeat yard flooding investigation on a distribution unit, tracing gullies to a collapsed carrier pipe
- Post-construction CCTV of new foul and surface water runs before practical completion

Main contractors, groundworkers, M&E contractors and developers use us at every stage of a build, not just when something goes wrong. In Glasgow that ranges from city-centre office conversions and student accommodation, where existing combined drainage has to be traced and reused, to new industrial units on the eastern and southern estates where new runs need proving before handover.
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 Glasgow | Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How quickly can you survey a site in Glasgow?
A: Our Scottish surveyors are based in Glasgow, so most Glasgow commercial surveys can be booked in short order once scope and access are agreed. Tell us your deadline when you send the plan and we will confirm a date with the quote.
Q2: Can you survey drainage under a live Glasgow city-centre site?
A: Yes. We regularly plan around occupied buildings, footways and loading bays, including out-of-hours and weekend working, with the traffic management and permits arranged as part of the job.
Q3: Do you cover East Renfrewshire, East Dunbartonshire and South Lanarkshire from Glasgow?
A: Yes – Giffnock, Newton Mearns, Bearsden, Bishopbriggs, Kirkintilloch, Rutherglen, Cambuslang and East Kilbride are all covered from our Glasgow base.
Q4: 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.
Q5: 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.
