NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle party wall notices and awards in Pimlico SW1V, 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.
Pimlico was laid out as one estate, terrace by terrace. Most houses are now flats.
Its roof lines are mostly unbroken. Westminster refuses roof extensions on terraces like that.
So walls are rarely raised here. The shared structure you meet is usually a floor.
Strengthening a floor, or bearing steels on it, is party structure work. The owner beyond it gets notice.
Lower ground flats sometimes lower their floor. That can mean underpinning, at two months’ notice.

Why are Pimlico party wall jobs mostly about floors?
Most houses are flats, and roofs are rarely raised here.
So the shared structure is usually the floor between two homes.
Can a Pimlico flat owner raise the party walls for an extra storey?
Rarely. Westminster refuses roof extensions on largely unaltered terraces.
Where one is allowed, raising the party walls needs two months’ notice.
Does a Pimlico lower ground flat need notice to lower its floor?
Often. Lowering it can underpin the walls shared with next door.
Planning may also be needed. Basement permitted development was removed citywide in 2016.
How long does a Pimlico party wall notice last?
A year. If work has not begun by then, it lapses.
We time notices to match the programme.
