Targeted camera inspection to identify specific drainage defects — blocked runs, root ingress, pipe displacement, or pre-works condition assessment. We cover all postcodes in Tottenham including N17.

Property Types in Tottenham

Tottenham's housing stock includes Victorian terraces, Edwardian terraces, Post-war properties, New build developments, Commercial and mixed-use premises. Each property type presents different drainage characteristics. Victorian and Edwardian terraces typically have original clay pipe drainage with brick inspection chambers, while inter-war and post-war properties may have pitch-fibre or early plastic pipes. Our engineers have specialist knowledge of Tottenham property types and adapt the survey approach accordingly.
