Whether you’re planning an extension, basement excavation, or structural alterations, our surveyors guide you through the legal and technical requirements of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, protecting both your project and your neighbourly relations.

If you are the neighbour (adjoining owner) to a planned construction project, you have the option to have your own party wall surveyor (the building owner doing the work would pay the fees for your surveyor).

What Does a Party Wall Surveyor Do?

Party wall surveyors play a critical role in managing and resolving issues that arise when building works affect shared structures. Our responsibilities include:

• Legal Compliance & Advice We interpret and apply the Party Wall Act, advising property owners on their rights and obligations. This includes identifying whether proposed works require formal notice and what type of notice is appropriate.
• Drafting & Serving Notices We prepare and serve valid Party Wall Notices to adjoining owners, ensuring they meet all statutory requirements and timelines.
• Schedules of Condition Before work begins, we conduct detailed inspections of neighbouring properties and produce photographic and written records to protect all parties in case of future damage claims.
• Dispute Resolution & Mediation If a neighbour dissents or fails to respond, we act as impartial surveyors — either individually or jointly — to resolve disputes and negotiate fair terms.
• Party Wall Awards We prepare legally binding documents that outline the scope of works, access rights, working hours, and protections for adjoining properties. These Awards ensure clarity and prevent conflict.
• Monitoring & Post-Work Review We may revisit the site after completion to assess any damage, verify compliance, and facilitate resolution if issues arise.

Our surveyors are not advocates for either side — we act independently, with a duty to uphold the law and protect the interests of both building and adjoining owners.
