Construction · Notices and awards
Party wall surveyors in London.
Notices served, awards agreed, and neighbours kept informed, before work starts on site.
01What it covers
Party wall surveyors, explained.
Party wall matters sit inside our construction service. The same team already on your project handles them.
Shared wall work, or a nearby excavation, can trigger the Party Wall Act. We check the actual scope first, against the adjoining structures.
Notices are served with the correct period for the work. A friendly conversation helps, but the formal notice must be in writing.
If a neighbour disagrees, a party wall award follows. A surveyor assesses the wall, in liaison with the neighbouring surveyor. An award does not replace planning permission.

What people ask about party wall surveyors.
When might I need a party wall surveyor?
Work to shared walls, boundaries or nearby excavations can trigger the Party Wall Act.
We review the actual scope and its relationship to adjoining structures before work starts.
How much notice do neighbours need under the Party Wall Act?
The notice period depends on the type of notifiable work.
Our surveyor confirms the notices, recipients and dates. A friendly conversation does not replace the formal process.
Can a party wall award replace planning permission?
No. Party wall procedures and planning permission deal with different matters.
Other approvals and property rights can still be relevant.
Who pays the party wall surveyors’ fees?
Fee responsibility depends on the circumstances and the surveyors’ own determination.
We ask for an estimate and how extra time or changing drawings are handled.
