The Real Process Explained For East Molesey

Getting Thames Water’s approval for a East Molesey build over agreement means submitting real structural detail, not just a general description, showing exactly how the foundation design accounts for the sewer’s presence.

For some East Molesey projects a CCTV survey forms part of that submission, for others it doesn’t, Thames Water’s requirement depends on the individual site. We’re upfront about which applies before any work starts.
