If you need to find a craftsman to do your job, please try our local search below, or if you do it yourself, you can find suppliers on site. If you are building within three metres of a public sewer or one metre of a public side cub view, you will need our permission before starting work. Don`t worry, just fill in as many details of the app as possible, even if they are very simple. Your client or architect should be able to help you. If we grant you a self-certified build-over agreement, you can start the work immediately, as long as it is described. If you have requested a full build-over agreement, we will contact you within 21 days of your application. We will discuss your proposal with you, including any details that may need to be changed. The agreement not only ensures that in the future Thames Water will be able to have sufficient access to sewers or sewers, but also ensures that the proposed foundations are designed in such a way as to reduce the risk to the canal or flow. Thames Water may also require that the proposed foundation be built at a safe distance from sewers or sewers, avoiding the risk of damage.
Wells also cannot be built due to the increased risk of flooding and odourless wells. Whenever possible, wells should be removed and watered. If it is not possible to build a well outside a building, we can discuss alternatives if we receive your application. It`s not always easy to know what type of sewers are running through your property, if at all. In cities, pipes are usually located behind gardens, and the direction and connections of the pipe can be determined by opening wells, if any, in the immediate vicinity. This visual information can be added to drawings to continue the design or construction process. There are a number of public sewer maps available by Thames Water itself or consulted by the municipal administration when the information is updated. Most Class 1 public sewers are still not in the easily accessible documentation, but Class 2 and 3 pipes, which have a greater impact on infrastructure, will most likely be available and recorded in Thames water research. To find out whether or not you are eligible for a self-certified agreement, complete the questionnaire on the Thames Water Build Over website (link above). Or ask us! If there are pipes near the planned construction, it can affect the design of the building. In addition to revising the local authority`s building rules, it is important that you cooperate with us to ensure that the pipes are protected and that our access is not restricted.
If you are not able to answer with certainty any of the questions in our online questionnaire or the questions above or if you know that you are not qualifying, you need an approved build-over agreement.
