Our Services
From rear extensions and loft conversions to basement excavations, dormers, and retrospective cases, we handle every type of party wall matter, fully digitally.
Rear & Side Extensions
Building an extension that touches, sits close to, or is built on the party wall requires a Section 2 notice. We prepare and serve the notice, manage your neighbours' response, and produce the Party Wall Award.
- Section 1 and/or Section 2 notices as required
- Neighbour liaison handled entirely by us
- Schedule of Condition survey of the adjoining property
- Formal Party Wall Award
Loft Conversions
Most loft conversions, including dormer conversions, involve cutting into the party wall to insert steel beams, which triggers the Act. We handle the full statutory process so your builder can start on time.
- Section 2 notice for works to the party wall
- Structural beam notification included
- Proactive neighbour communication
- Digital Award and Schedule of Condition
Basement Excavations
Digging within 3 metres of a neighbouring structure (or 6 metres if the excavation is deeper than the neighbour's foundations) triggers a Section 6 notice. These cases require specialist handling.
- Section 6 (and Section 2 if applicable) notices
- Detailed Schedule of Condition
- Engineering drawings review
- Award with specific underpinning provisions
New Builds on the Boundary
Building a new wall on or astride the boundary line between two properties requires a Section 1 notice. We serve notice on all adjoining owners and manage the process through to consent or Award.
- Section 1 notice preparation and service
- Consent or Award documentation
- All statutory timelines managed
- Fully compliant with the 1996 Act
Works Already Started
If your builder started work without serving the required notices, we can regularise the situation with our retrospective service. This is a specialist area requiring careful handling. Act quickly.
- Retrospective notice and Award process
- Assessment of current works vs. statutory obligations
- Neighbour liaison and dispute resolution
- Documented outcome protecting all parties
Adjoining Owner Advice
Adjoining owner: the owner or occupier of a property affected by the proposed works. If your neighbour is building, this is you.
Received a party wall notice from your neighbour? You have important rights under the Act. We advise adjoining owners on their options: consent, dissent, and what the process means for them.
- Free initial explanation of your rights
- Review of the notice and proposed works
- Surveyor appointment if required
- Protection of your property throughout
