Bo'ness Landlord and Letting Agent Drain Surveys
Two decades of landlord and letting agent drain surveys across Falkirk means very little in Bo'ness surprises us any more. If landlord and letting agent drain surveys is not the right answer, we will say so rather than sell it.
If you take one thing from this page: nobody in Bo'ness pays us to diagnose a problem, only to fix it, and landlord and letting agent drain surveys is explained in plain language first. We tell you when a repair is not needed as readily as when it is.
How we do the work in Bo'ness
Full relining is an option on longer Bo'ness runs — a felt liner inverted through the pipe and cured to form a new wall inside the old one. Knowing the cause is what stops you paying for the same visit twice.
Cameras are self-levelling with on-screen metreage, so the defect position is recorded to the metre for any later repair. Bo'ness sits in the round we cover daily, so this is routine rather than a special trip.
On the ground in Bo'ness
Built on a slope down to the Forth, Bo'ness drainage runs are often steep and long, which hides defects until a survey finds them.
Exposed seafront property collects wind-blown sand in every gully pot, which is a cleaning job rather than a repair. It changes which tool comes off the van first, and that is usually what decides how long a job takes.
Most landlord and letting agent drain surveys work in Bo'ness involves hillside terraces and long steep drain runs, and each brings its own typical faults. Where that is the case, a camera before quoting saves money rather than adding to the bill.

A landlord survey is planned work, booked around tenants rather than around a flood. The point is a written record of what the drainage is actually like before the next problem arrives.

Bo'ness drainage FAQs
Can you deal with septic tanks and soakaways near Bo'ness?
Yes, on the properties around Bo'ness that are not on mains drainage. These are handled differently to sewer-connected systems and quoted separately. It is worth mentioning when you describe the problem to us.
Do you cover all of Bo'ness?
Yes — we cover Bo'ness and the whole EH51 area, along with the rest of Falkirk and neighbouring towns such as Falkirk and Linlithgow. There is no call-out charge and we work 24/7. Ring 07427 195142 if you want that checked before booking.
What does landlord and letting agent drain surveys cost in Bo'ness?
Price depends on what we find, so we agree it with you before any work starts. There is never a charge for turning up in Bo'ness, and we will tell you if the job is smaller than you feared. It is worth mentioning when you describe the problem to us.
Is the drain my responsibility or Scottish Water's?
Anything inside your boundary is normally yours; the shared sewer beyond it is not. On Bo'ness jobs we camera the run so you can see exactly where the fault sits before anyone pays for it. Ask when you call and we will confirm it for your address.
How much notice do tenants need?
We work to whatever notice you give under the tenancy, and we can book a specific time slot so the tenant is not waiting in all day.
Will the report say whether the tenant caused the blockage?
The report says what was found in the pipe and where. Wipes and fat look very different to a collapsed joint or root ingress, so the cause is usually clear from the footage.
Can you survey several properties in one visit?
Yes, where they are close together we group them into one visit, which keeps the cost per property down.
