Build-Over Surveys
We check the condition of drains before you build over or near them, helping you meet building control rules.
If you're planning an extension or other work that involves building over or near a drain, you'll usually need to show building control that the pipe is in good condition and can safely take the load above it. A build-over survey gives you that evidence.
Our engineers will run a CCTV camera through the affected section to check its condition, confirm its exact location and depth, and provide a written report you can submit as part of your building control application.
