Build Over Survey Chester | Essential Drainage Reports for Your Extension

Planning a new extension, conservatory, or building work on your Chester property? It’s an exciting time, but one crucial step often overlooked is ensuring your plans comply with drainage regulations. If your proposed construction is near or over a public sewer, you'll need a "Build Over Agreement" from your local water authority, which for Chester and the surrounding areas is usually United Utilities. This agreement almost always requires a professional Build Over Drainage Survey. At Avery Drainage Solutions, we provide comprehensive, reliable Build Over Surveys that give you the clear information and formal reports you need to keep your project moving forward smoothly in Chester and across Cheshire.

Why Choose Us?

Why a Build Over Survey is Crucial for Your Chester Project

Any building work that comes within 3 metres of, or directly over, a public sewer pipe requires a specific agreement with the water company. This isn't just a formality; it protects you, your property, and the public drainage network. Without a Build Over Agreement, you could face delays, costly alterations, or even legal issues down the line. A detailed CCTV drain survey provides United Utilities with the precise information they need about the condition, location, and depth of the sewer before construction begins. This report acts as a baseline, protecting all parties involved and making sure your new build doesn't impact essential public services. We understand the specific requirements for properties in Chester, Ellesmere Port, and right across the North West.
