What is a Party Wall?
A party wall is a shared structure, boundary or fence wall that sits on or divides two adjoining properties, as defined under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. We offer professional, full party wall agreement services for handling such matters as boundary wall notices and surveys through to agreements that comply with the law.
Our knowledgeable surveyors work actively on your behalf to safeguard your home, avoid neighbour disputes, and ensure that your project continues without hold-ups.
Which Types of Work Require Notice Under the Party Wall Act 1996?
If you are working close to a party wall or boundary line, you must follow the requirements of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. Certain construction works legally require you to notify adjoining owners before starting on site.
Neighbours may consent to the proposed works or dissent, in which case surveyors are appointed in accordance with the Act to protect all parties.
Working on a shared fence or structure, including repairs, rebuilding, or alterations.
Building directly on the boundary, such as a wall, fence or extension.
Excavating or renovating near a neighbour’s foundation for basements or extensions.
Loft or roof alterations where a shared or party wall is involved.
Removing, altering, or demolishing walls connected to a neighbouring property.
Even if relations with neighbours are positive, serving the correct notices is a legal requirement. A compliant process protects your programme, avoids disputes, and keeps projects moving smoothly.
Types of work covered under the Party Wall Act:
Foundation Excavations
Structural Alterations & Renovations

Handling Neighbour’s Response
Deal with the neighbours and their responses; if they consent, request a surveyor; if they dissent, or no response is given, then we proceed to the party wall award.

Our party wall specialists conduct a detailed inspection, documenting its condition to protect you from false damage claims.
