Building in Ellesmere Port? Why a Build Over Survey is Crucial

Thinking of adding an extension, conservatory, or even a new garage to your Ellesmere Port property? It’s an exciting time, but before you start digging, there’s a vital step many homeowners overlook: the Build Over Survey. If your planned construction is within three metres of, or directly over, a public sewer or drain, your local water authority – likely United Utilities – will require a specialist survey. This isn't just a formality; it's about protecting your property, the public sewer network, and making sure your project adheres to regulations. Avery Drainage Solutions provides comprehensive Build Over Surveys for homes and businesses across Ellesmere Port and the surrounding Cheshire and Merseyside areas, helping you proceed with confidence.

Why Choose Us?

Navigating United Utilities Regulations with a Build Over Agreement

Public sewers are essential infrastructure, handling wastewater from multiple properties. Building over or near one without proper consent and assessment can cause serious issues down the line, from damaging the pipework to blocking access for future maintenance. United Utilities, like all water authorities, has strict guidelines to prevent these problems. They need to be sure that your proposed build won't compromise the sewer's integrity or their ability to access it for repairs or inspections. A Build Over Survey, conducted by experienced drainage surveyors, provides the detailed report and evidence United Utilities needs to issue a 'Build Over Agreement'. This agreement is a formal permission, protecting you from potential liabilities and ensuring your project stays compliant, saving you time and stress in the long run.
