Build Over Agreements

Build Over Agreements London

During construction works of an extension, it is very likely that you will be building over, or close to a public sewer, both of which require consent from your local sewage provider. Sewers and drains must be safeguarded during construction to ensure they are accessible in the future and no damage is done as a result of the additional loads on the land. This means that the position of the foundation must be carefully considered and that protection must be implemented for the sewer.

Included within our all encompassing service is the detailed drawings required for building over sewers and the organisation of the application with your sewage provider. We have been working with Thames Water and Southern water for many years and accustomed to gaining their approval for our customers. If you have any questions or would like to know more about the process, please get in touch to speak to one of our team.

What Is A Build Over Agreement?

A build over agreement is a form of consent, required from your sewage provider if you are building over, or within 3 meters of a public sewer.

Safeguarding sewers and ensuring access is maintained is an extremely important part of the construction process. To ensure correct procedures are followed, your sewage provider assess’ the proposals and provides their consent before works begin. Freedom Homes Architects creates all the necessary drawings and organises the approval of your behalf so you don’t
have to worry about it.
