Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a Pre-Build Survey for my Chinnor extension?
A Build-Over Agreement is required if you are building within 3m of a public sewer in Chinnor. It protects you and the water authority.

Yes. We use WinCan reporting software, which is the industry standard accepted by Thames Water and Chinnor building control.

We will provide a clear HD video of the damage and a fixed-price quote to repair it before your Chinnor build commences.
Do I need a post-build survey as well in Chinnor?

Usually, these surveys are valid for 12 months, provided no significant groundworks have occurred on your Chinnor site since the check.
