NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle party wall notices and awards in Notting Hill W11, under one contract. Fees are priced per project by our own quantity surveyor, from the actual scope. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.

Notting Hill terraces are tall and narrow. Most run four floors over a lower ground.

So the party wall is tall too. Work at the top or the bottom touches both neighbours.

Many houses are now flats. One project can mean notices above, below and beside.

Lowering a lower ground floor underpins the shared walls. That is two months’ notice.

We record each neighbour’s rooms first, then agree the award before anyone digs.

What party wall surveying costs in Notting Hill.

Party wall work is priced per project, from the actual scope.

A house split into flats can mean several owners, and several notices.

None of it sits in our per square foot construction bands.

Does lowering my Notting Hill lower ground floor need notice?

Usually, yes. It often means underpinning the party walls.

That takes a party structure notice, two months ahead.

Who do I notify in a Notting Hill house split into flats?

Each owner whose wall or floor the work touches.

Above, below and beside can all be adjoining owners.

We check the titles first.

When should party wall notices go out for a Notting Hill basement?

Once the design is fixed, and before the build starts.

A notice lapses after twelve months if work has not begun.

So we time it to the programme.

What happens if work damages a Notting Hill neighbour’s house?

The award sets how damage is put right, or paid for.

The schedule of condition shows what was there before.

That is why we record it in detail.

Does a Notting Hill loft need a party wall notice?

Usually. Steels for a loft often bear on the shared walls.

Raising a party wall for a mansard needs notice too.
