Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Kidlington
Thames Water has to approve any Kidlington build that goes over or close to a public sewer, a genuine requirement that sits alongside, not instead of, planning permission. We handle the structural and design detail properly, and move quickly.
Get StartedUnderstanding Kidlington’s Build Over Requirements
Getting Thames Water’s approval for a Kidlington 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 Kidlington 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.
Every Kidlington enquiry gets checked against both requirements honestly, planning permission and Thames Water’s build over agreement, since conflating the two causes real delay.

How We Help in Kidlington
For Kidlington projects, we establish the real picture first, exactly where the sewer runs, what’s being proposed, and what Thames Water’s specific requirements are for a site like this.
Once that’s clear, the submission gets built around what Thames Water will actually assess, with a CCTV survey arranged only where it’s genuinely called for.
Kidlington submissions to Thames Water get followed through properly, with anything they raise addressed directly and promptly.
Getting Kidlington Build Over Approval Right First Time
Every Kidlington submission to Thames Water gets checked properly before it goes in, since a poorly prepared application slows down the fast turnaround we’re aiming for.
We only arrange a CCTV survey for Kidlington projects where Thames Water genuinely requires it, never as a default extra tacked onto every job.
Whatever a Kidlington project actually involves, structural detail, design detail, or both, we prepare it properly for Thames Water from the outset.
