Findings
3 · overall grade 3
  1. Camera view: a hairline crack and a slightly displaced joint

    Finding 01 · grade 2

    A tired joint

    A circumferential hairline crack beside a joint displaced by about 5% of the bore. Not urgent, but it will catch paper and fat.

    Recommend: patch liner · £280

  2. Camera view: fine roots entering the drain at a joint

    Finding 02 · grade 3

    The roots of it

    Fine roots through a failed joint, almost certainly from the neighbouring cherry. This is the cause of your recurring blockage.

    Recommend: root cut + liner · £520

  3. Camera view: a clean, smooth relined section of pipe

    Finding 03 · after

    And after

    The same line, a fortnight later: cut, cleaned and lined in one visit. No trench, no lifted patio, and a new survey to prove it.
