Party wall support for residential building works

Helping you navigate party wall matters with confidence

If your project involves work on or near a shared wall, boundary or structure, the Party Wall etc. Act may apply. Early clarity helps avoid delays and protects relationships with neighbours.

While formal party wall awards are handled by appointed surveyors, we support homeowners by explaining typical triggers, planning sequencing around notices, and keeping technical details clear for all parties.

This support is often relevant for side returns, wrap-arounds, loft conversions and structural alterations. If you are exploring your options, you can request a fixed-price quotation or browse recent work in our projects gallery.

Where party wall considerations commonly arise

The following project types often need early party wall conversations.

  • Works to shared walls (cutting in steels, raising or thickening party walls).
  • Excavations close to neighbouring foundations for new foundations.
  • Loft works affecting party walls in terraces and semis.
  • Boundary walls or new walls built on or near a boundary line.
  • Side access works where temporary protection and neighbour coordination are needed.

How we support you

We flag party wall triggers early, help you understand the likely route, and coordinate build sequencing so notices and surveyor steps are respected.

We also encourage early neighbour communication alongside your planning strategy where appropriate.

We work across East Molesey, West Molesey, Hampton Court, Kingston upon Thames, Esher, Surbiton, Elmbridge and surrounding Surrey & South West London.

Why this matters

  • Reduces the risk of last-minute delays to your start date.
  • Supports better neighbour relationships and clearer expectations.
  • Helps maintain a professional, well-managed project environment.
  • Provides a smoother pathway through excavation and structural stages.

GET IN TOUCH

It is UK legislation that sets out a process for certain works affecting shared walls, boundaries and nearby excavations.

Not always. It depends on the work. We can help you understand typical triggers, but surveyors handle formal awards.

No. Planning and party wall processes are separate.

As early as possible—ideally during design—so notices and surveyor appointments don’t delay your build.

We can suggest local options based on your area and project type, and coordinate technical information as needed.

Clear communication, tidy site management and respecting access/boundary constraints make a big difference.
