Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a Pre-Build Survey for my Manningtree extension?
A Build-Over Agreement is required if you are building within 3m of a public sewer in Manningtree. It protects you and the water authority.
Will this survey satisfy Thames Water in Manningtree?
Yes. We use WinCan reporting software, which is the industry standard accepted by Thames Water and Manningtree building control.
What happens if you find damage during the Manningtree survey?
We will provide a clear HD video of the damage and a fixed-price quote to repair it before your Manningtree build commences.
Do I need a post-build survey as well in Manningtree?
Often, yes. Water authorities in Manningtree may require a “Post-Build” check to ensure your construction hasn’t damaged the sewer.
