A build over agreement is necessary when your build is taking place over, or within 3 metres of, a public sewer. The agreement confirms that the foundations of your new construction have allowed sufficient clearance from the sewer and that access to the sewer will still be possible when necessary.

Your application and supporting documents must be sent to your local water board. They will assess all documentation to ensure your works won’t damage the sewer system. Documents are drawn up with the aim of proving that your work complies with regulations; this can also affect the future saleability of your property.

We’ll first determine whether or not an application is required. If it is, we’ll submit your application and plans to your local water provider on your behalf. With years of experience working with clients throughout London, we understand the red tape involved. We also know how to boost the chances of a successful application so your project isn’t hindered by unnecessary, frustrating and costly setbacks.

We’ll guide you through every aspect of the process of obtaining a build over agreement, and ensure your project complies with all requirements. If you need advice or have any questions, contact the knowledgeable team at Plan Masters.
