Spread the cost of a CCTV drain camera system from £1,000 to £20,000+ with flexible finance options. HP, lease, or refinance
Yes, cctv drain cameras are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £1,000 to £20,000, and most deals are written over 12–60 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

A CCTV drain camera is moveable equipment and generally qualifies for Annual Investment Allowance, letting the cost be deducted from taxable profits in the year of purchase. HP agreements let you claim capital allowances directly, while lease payments are deducted as a running cost instead, which suits smaller drainage businesses wanting predictable monthly outgoings.
CCTV drain cameras are bought by drainage contractors, plumbing businesses offering diagnostic surveys, and property surveyors needing to inspect and report on underground pipework without excavation. A push-rod camera suits smaller diameter domestic drains, while a reel-mounted dual-camera system or self-propelled crawler is chosen for larger diameter commercial and sewer pipework, or where a business needs to produce a detailed recorded survey for a client or insurer. Replacement is generally driven by camera and cable wear from repeated use in wet and abrasive conditions, and by demand for higher resolution recording as clients increasingly expect a digital report rather than a verbal assessment, rather than a fixed age.
Some specialist lenders consider businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options may be available. Fundably may use a soft credit check for matching, which does not affect your credit score. A hard check may happen if you choose to proceed with a lender.
