Planning an Extension in Sale? Understanding Your Build Over Survey Needs

If you're a homeowner or developer in Sale, Altrincham, or indeed anywhere across Greater Manchester, and you're planning to extend your property, there's a crucial step many overlook: the Build Over Survey. This isn't just another bit of paperwork; it’s a vital assessment to ensure your new build or extension won't interfere with, or damage, existing public sewers or drains. Ignoring this could lead to significant issues down the line, including costly repairs, project delays, or even legal complications. At Avery Drainage Solutions, we provide professional, comprehensive Build Over Surveys designed to give you peace of mind and keep your building programme on track.

Why Choose Us?

Why a Build Over Survey is Essential for Your Sale Property Project

Public sewers often run beneath private land, and building over them, or even very close to them, requires formal approval from your local water authority – in this area, that’s United Utilities. They need to ensure their access to the pipes for maintenance is protected and that your new structure won't compromise the drainage network. A Build Over Survey, carried out by experienced surveyors, provides a detailed "before and after" report of the drain's condition. This protects you, the property owner, from being held responsible for any pre-existing issues and ensures that if a problem arises in the future, the water authority knows the state of the drain beforehand. It’s a necessary step to avoid potential drainage issues, fines, or even having to remove your new extension.

Clear, Comprehensive Build Over Survey Reports You Can Trust

After completing the physical survey, our experienced team compiles a meticulous report. This isn't just a brief summary; it's a comprehensive document, often presented in industry-standard Wincan format, that includes the full video footage from the CCTV inspection. The report details the exact location and depth of the pipes, their current condition, and highlights any defects or potential issues. This precise report is what you’ll need to submit to United Utilities (or your relevant water authority) as part of your Build Over Agreement application. It helps ensure your property development complies with all regulations, saving you time and avoiding potential problems. Our reports are clear, easy to understand, and provide all the information you need.
