Planning Your Build in Stretford? Secure Your Property with a Professional Build Over Survey

Expanding your home or business in Stretford is exciting, but it often involves building over or near existing public sewers. Before you put a spade in the ground for that new extension, conservatory, or shed, you’ll likely need a Build Over Survey. This crucial step is not just a formality; it’s a vital requirement from your local water authority, like United Utilities, and it helps protect your property and the public drainage network. At Avery Drainage Solutions, we provide comprehensive Build Over Survey services right here in Stretford and across the wider North West, giving you clarity and confidence for your building project. Our experienced team makes sure your plans align with drainage regulations, preventing costly issues down the line.

Why Choose Us?

What Exactly is a Build Over Survey and Why is it Essential?

A Build Over Survey is a detailed inspection of the public drainage pipes that run beneath or very close to your planned construction area. These pipes could be anything from a shared foul water sewer serving your street to a surface water drain. The survey typically involves a specialist CCTV camera inspection of the drain, both before any building work starts and after the structure is complete. Its purpose is to record the exact condition and location of the sewer. This helps your local water authority understand the impact of your proposed build and ensures that their assets are protected. Without a proper survey, you could face delays, hefty fines, or even be forced to remove your new structure if it obstructs or damages the public sewer.

Who We Are

Protecting Your Stretford Property: Why a Build Over Survey Matters

Imagine finishing your dream extension, only to discover it’s caused a major issue with a shared sewer pipe beneath. This could lead to difficult and expensive repair work, potentially involving digging up your new foundations. A Build Over Survey prevents these nightmares. By clearly documenting the sewer's condition beforehand, it gives you and the water authority peace of mind. It highlights any existing problems like cracks or root ingress, allowing you to address them before construction begins. We help you meet all the necessary requirements for your ‘Build Over Agreement’, ensuring your project in Stretford proceeds smoothly and legally. Our reports provide clear evidence, removing any guesswork about the hidden drainage infrastructure on your property.
