What keeps cctv drain survey prices down in Great Yarmouth

Great Yarmouth is a small town of around 63,000 in Norfolk. The housing is mostly a mix of Victorian terraces, inter-war semi-detached housing and modern new-build estates.

Local trade prices sit below the UK average. Lower contractor overheads and shorter distances across Norfolk do most of the work.
