SFG20 Drainage Inspections in Essex & London
Structured drainage inspections aligned with industry standards to ensure compliance, performance, and long-term reliability across commercial sites.
What Are SFG20 Inspections?
SFG20 is the recognised industry standard for planned maintenance schedules across building services. It defines how often systems should be inspected, what should be checked, and how risk should be managed across commercial properties.
Rather than relying on reactive maintenance or guesswork, SFG20 provides a structured framework for inspection, ensuring drainage systems are maintained in line with best practice, operational requirements, and compliance expectations.
For commercial sites, this means inspections are carried out at appropriate intervals, with clear documentation and accountability.
Why SFG20-Based Drainage Inspections Matter
Drainage systems are often overlooked until problems occur, but like all infrastructure, they require regular inspection to remain effective. Without a structured inspection schedule, issues such as blockages, deterioration, or system defects can go unnoticed until they cause disruption.
SFG20-based inspections ensure drainage systems are checked consistently, allowing problems to be identified early and managed before they escalate.
This approach supports:
- Operational reliability
- Risk reduction
- Compliance with maintenance standards
- Better long-term cost control
What Our SFG20 Drainage Inspections Include
Our inspections are aligned with structured maintenance principles, ensuring all key drainage assets are assessed and recorded as part of a planned programme.
- Inspection of drainage systems, pipework, and chambers
- Assessment of flow, blockages, and system performance
- Identification of defects, wear, or deterioration
- Visual and CCTV inspections where required
- Review of high-risk or high-usage areas
- Recording of findings and condition reporting
A Structured Approach to Drainage Inspections
SFG20 is based on risk-based inspection intervals, meaning maintenance is not carried out randomly, but according to the level of risk and usage across a site.
Our approach applies these principles to drainage systems—ensuring high-demand or critical areas receive more frequent attention, while lower-risk areas are monitored appropriately.
This creates a balanced and efficient maintenance strategy that improves system performance without unnecessary disruption.
Supporting Planned Drainage Maintenance
SFG20 inspections form part of a wider planned preventative maintenance programme.
By combining structured inspections with routine servicing and maintenance, drainage systems can be actively managed rather than reactively repaired.
This ensures:
- Better visibility of system condition
- More effective maintenance planning
- Reduced reliance on emergency callouts
