At Solent Streetworks, we know that industry experience, specialist knowledge and strong client relationships can make all the difference.

From saving a client over £100,000 to celebrating personal and professional milestones, it's been another busy period for the team.

£103,500 Saved for a Client

One of our recent successes highlights just how valuable industry knowledge can be.

When a client was faced with a £105,000 Section 74 overrun charge, we stepped in to challenge it, successfully reducing the amount to just £1,500 - a saving of £103,500!

Section 74 charges can arise when streetworks exceed their agreed duration, potentially resulting in significant costs.

Understanding the regulations, processes and finer details of streetworks can make a huge difference when challenging these charges.

It's a great example of why we're here to do more than manage permits and paperwork. We support our clients, solve problems and, wherever possible, save them time and money.

Nine Years of Solent Streetworks Consultants

When Solent Streetworks Consultants was established over nine years ago, the aim was simple: to make streetworks easier for the businesses we work with.

Having experienced the complexities of the industry first-hand, our founder wanted to create a business built on knowledge, reliability and strong client relationships.

Nine years on, while the business has grown, that approach hasn't changed. We continue to pride ourselves on being approachable, providing practical solutions and making life easier for our clients.

There has also been a proud personal milestone recently, with our founder, Andrew, being admitted to the Freedom of the Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths in London.

A meaningful honour and a special moment for the family, recognising a longstanding connection to the craft and its community.

Supporting Projects with Experience and Expertise

Whether it's working on the strategic road network, securing highway licences or managing streetworks permits, having the right knowledge and support is essential.

Projects involving National Highways roads, in particular, require careful planning, coordination and an understanding of the relevant regulations and approval processes.

At Solent Streetworks Consultants, we combine years of industry experience with professional qualifications and accreditations to help clients navigate these requirements confidently.

Our services include:

• Streetworks permit management - handling applications, approvals and ongoing coordination with local authorities.

• National Highways support - assisting with relevant permissions, highway approvals and traffic management coordination.

• Highway licences - helping secure the necessary permissions for works on or affecting the highway.

• Utility coordination - supporting effective planning and communication to keep projects moving.

• Section 74 support - providing guidance and assistance with overrun charges and challenges.

• Section 50 Licences - assisting with applications and approvals for businesses and contractors needing permission to install or maintain apparatus within the public highway.

We understand that managing streetworks involves much more than submitting paperwork. It's about anticipating potential issues, ensuring compliance and keeping projects progressing as smoothly as possible.

Our aim is to take the hassle out of the process, allowing our clients to focus on delivering their projects.
