Drainage Survey Guides
Practical answers for facilities managers, contractors, developers and landlords in Central Scotland.
Straight answers about drainage surveys
Booking a drainage survey on a commercial or construction site raises the same questions again and again: what it will cost, which survey you actually need, what Scottish Water expects before sewers can vest, and what to check before work starts on site. These guides answer them in plain English, based on the work our surveyors carry out across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Falkirk, Cumbernauld, Stirling, Perth and the rest of Central Scotland.
Each guide links to the relevant survey service, so when you are ready you can see exactly what is included and how to book. If your question isn’t covered, call us on 0345 548 5451 or email us and one of our surveyors will help.
- For facilities managers planning maintenance and budgets
