What is a Build Over Agreement?
A build over agreement is a consent between the homeowners and the utilities such as water authorities (THAMES WATER) in the UK. If you are starting any type of building work over or near the sewers, you need to ask the Thames Water buildover agreement for permission.
When you start building over a sewer, the authorities must have to grant permission. They ensure if the construction work is in compliance with the buildover agreement legislation, not damaging the sewers or causing any future trouble for the sewerage system.

This is an formal firm to deal with. After the free survey, where the surveyor modified my error on the type of loft support I wanted. No deposit was required. During the time between survey the office team reserved me updated on the process. About a week already they arranged for a primary start and finish to avoid the worst of the heat that was prediction. The loft space took 69sq meters of insulation and 220sq foot of new boarding. Their work is guaranteed for 10 years! I would strongly recommend them.

FAQs
For your buildover agreement, the local utilities, such as the water or sewer companies (THAMES WATER), are responsible for it. These companies have the right to permit you to build near the public sewers.
Indeed, you can apply for a retrospective buildover agreement. What it means is that you could apply for consent from Thames Water to build over the utilities, even if your construction work already has been completed.
If your building plans or drawings comply with the building regulations or are well designed, then the process of getting the buildover agreements will be simple and straightforward as there will be no change or any rejection.
For any chance you are planning to build over or near a public sewer, a build over agreement will be considered as a legal requirement.
If you construct over a sewer without getting the permission from the related authorities, it will lead the severe issues and cause the worst consequences at the time of selling the property.
