If you’re planning building works in London or have received a party wall notice, we can guide you through the process and keep things moving.

We deal with party wall matters day in, day out — from straightforward extensions through to more involved structural works. The aim is always the same: make sure everything is dealt with properly, without unnecessary delays or complications.

What We Do

We provide a full range of services under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.

• Service of Party Wall Notices: We prepare and serve legally valid notices, including Land Registry checks and follow-up letters where required.
• Schedule of Condition Surveys: A clear photographic and written record of your neighbour’s property before works begin, protecting you against unfounded claims.
• Party Wall Awards: A binding legal document that sets out how works will proceed, including access rights, working hours and protective measures.
• Agreed Surveyor Role: Where both owners consent, we can act impartially as the single surveyor to save time and cost.
• Building Owner or Adjoining Owner Surveyor: We act for either party, safeguarding their interests at every stage.

If you’re not sure what applies to your project, just send your drawings over and we’ll confirm

London Coverage

• North London
• East London
• West London
• South London

We also cover surrounding areas in Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent, Buckinghamshire and Surrey

Real-world experience

Most instructions involve:

• Rear and side extensions
• Loft conversions requiring steel installation
• Excavation works close to neighbouring properties
• Situations where neighbours are unsure how to respond

In many cases, we’re brought in because timelines are tight and things need to be progressed quickly..

How we approach things

We keep things straightforward.

• Clear advice from the outset
• Fixed fees where possible
• Quick turnaround when required
• Practical approach to getting awards agreed

The process doesn’t need to be overcomplicated — and we don’t make it that way.

Timescales

As a guide:

• Notices can usually be prepared within 24–48 hours
• Adjoining owners have 14 days to respond
• Awards are progressed as soon as surveyors are appointed

Starting early helps avoid delays once your builder is booked in.
