Understanding Build Over Surveys in Manchester: What You Need to Know

Planning a new extension, conservatory, or building project on your property in Manchester? If your plans involve building near or directly over a public sewer, you’ll very likely need a Build Over Survey. This isn't just an optional step; it’s a crucial requirement from water authorities like United Utilities. It’s designed to protect both your new structure and the essential public drainage network beneath. At Avery Drainage Solutions, we understand this can feel like an extra hurdle in your project, but our team provides detailed, reliable Build Over Surveys across Manchester and the surrounding areas, making the process straightforward and giving you complete peace of mind before any ground is broken.

What Exactly is a Build Over Survey? Your Guide to Compliance

A Build Over Survey is essentially a thorough CCTV drain inspection carried out at two key stages: once before your construction work begins (the pre-build survey) and again after the building is complete (the post-build survey). Its main purpose is to confirm that your construction hasn't damaged the underlying public drainage infrastructure and that proper access for future maintenance is maintained. These surveys are vital for homeowners, landlords, and developers alike in areas such as Salford, Trafford, Stockport, and across Greater Manchester. Our specialist surveyors use advanced camera technology to get a precise look at the condition of the pipes, giving you the official reports and evidence you need to keep your project compliant and moving forward.

Our Simple Process for Your Manchester Build Over Drain Survey

When you arrange a Build Over Survey with Avery Drainage Solutions, you can expect a clear, efficient service from start to finish. Our skilled team arrives on time at your property, whether it’s in Sale, Urmston, or Stretford. We then deploy our specialist CCTV drain cameras into the public sewer line that your new structure will be near or over. These cameras navigate the pipes, recording high-definition video of the drain's current condition. We carefully identify any existing issues like cracks, root ingress, or blockages. Following the inspection, we compile all findings into a comprehensive written report, typically in an industry-standard Wincan format, alongside the video evidence. This report clearly details the pipe's condition, its exact location, and depth, providing all the information United Utilities or your local water authority requires. This initial 'pre-build' survey sets a vital benchmark, and we perform a second 'post-build' survey once your construction is complete to confirm no damage has occurred.
