Whether it is a new build or a retrospective build over agreement, we ensure that your project is fully compliant and moves forward without incurring unnecessary costs of delay.
What is a Build Over Agreement?
A Build Over Agreement is written permission from the local water agency (i.e., Thames Water) to build over or in proximity to a public sewer. If your work affects an existing sewer, you need to ask for a Thames Water build-over agreement London and across for permission.
It is a legal requirement before the commencement of work. We at Plansing make sure that the construction work complies with the buildover agreement legislation, not damaging the sewers or causing any future trouble for the sewerage system.

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.
