Party Walls
If you’re planning building work that involves a shared wall, or is within 3m of your neighbour’s property, you may need a Party Wall Award.
It can be a daunting, unpredictable time. With our depth of experience, we’ll guide you to the fair, reasonable outcome you need.
We bring specialist expertise to this complex area, often pre-empting potential disputes and helping you to minimise conflict between parties. Equally, we routinely help owners who feel that works in adjoining properties may be unlawful.
Whichever side of the wall you’re on, we’re here to help.
“Drawing on our party wall expertise, we’ll manage the entire process and provide the clear guidance and professional support you’ll need to satisfy statutory requirements.”

We’ll make sure you’re meeting your obligations under the Party Wall etc.
Act 1996.
Practical Advice & Guidance
We’ll help you make sense of the complex legal landscape to determine whether your works fall under the Act.
Capturing Every Detail
Our diligent approach means we accurately record the condition of affected areas, reducing the risk of later disputes.
Your Trusted Team For:
From new lofts to new foundations
Party Wall Awards are typically a legal requirement if your proposed work involves shared walls, garden walls, or anything else that crosses a shared boundary. Often, the first step is understanding whether a requirement is actually required – so that’s where our outstanding service levels begin.
From our first conversation to securing an agreement, we’ll be on-hand. If you’re affected, we can provide the appropriate notice to be served to your neighbours. We’ll also make sure your proposals are sufficiently detailed to be compliant with requirements.
Protecting relationships and avoiding disputes
Party Wall matters require both technical expertise and diplomatic skill. We understand that maintaining good neighbour relations is just as important as legal compliance. Our surveyors act as impartial professionals, facilitating agreements that protect all parties’ interests whilst keeping projects on schedule. When disputes arise, our experience in negotiation and resolution helps find practical solutions without unnecessary conflict or delay.
Expert guidance through the entire process
Whether you’re the Building Owner planning works or the Adjoining Owner receiving notice, we provide clear advice on your rights, obligations, and options at every stage. We prepare comprehensive schedules of condition, agree appropriate working methods, and ensure any damage is properly recorded and resolved. Our thorough approach gives you confidence that your interests are protected and the Party Wall Act requirements are fully satisfied.
