What is a Build Over Agreement?
A build-over agreement is an official permission from the local water authority (such as Thames Water) allowing you to build over or near a public sewer. If your project affects existing drainage, you must apply for a build-over agreement before starting construction. This is a legal requirement across London and the surrounding boroughs. At Plansing, we manage the entire build-to-suit agreement application process, ensuring full compliance with Thames Water regulations. Whether it’s a new build or a retrospective build over an agreement, we make sure your project avoids damage risks, delays, and costly issues in the future.
