About

Once one of our experienced London Party Wall surveyors is appointed, they will be able to deal with either serving or responding to a Notice served under the provisions of the Act in an efficient and proactive manner

The Act requires that the person executing the following general types of work is required to serve notice on all adjoining owners:-
Work to an existing party wall (a wall which separates two or more buildings or is part of one building and is to be enclosed upon, reduced in height or affected by the proposed works)
Work to a 'party' floor which separates two or more demises / properties
Work to an existing structure shared with another property
Work to a party fence wall (not part of a building and is astride the boundary eg. a brick garden wall BUT not a timber fence))
Construction of a free-standing wall astride or up to the line of a boundary
Construction of a wall forming part of a building and being astride or up the line of a boundary
Underpinning and piled foundations
Excavations near a neighbouring building where the excavations are below the foundations of a another building or structure



By way of example some typical works to party walls/structures/fences are;-
inserting a damp proof course

provision of beam bearings and beams (loft conversions, taking down dividing walls)
raising a party wall
lowering a party wall (minimum height of 2 metres applies)
increasing the thickness of a party wall

cutting off projections where they interfere with the proposed works
taking down chimney breasts and/or chimney stacks on the party wall
extension of chimney stacks where the existing are affected by the proposals
demolishing and the rebuilding of a party wall
underpinning of a party wall
cutting into a party wall or wall to insert roof flashings
providing weathering to a party wall/structure where it is to be exposed as a consequence of the works
