Do I need a party wall agreement for a loft conversion?
Most loft conversions in Ealing’s semi-detached and terraced properties require agreements if roof structures are shared or you’re cutting into party walls. Our specialist party wall surveyors can assess your specific situation.
Can I do party wall notices myself?
Property owners can serve notices themselves, but if neighbours dissent, you’ll need qualified surveyors to prepare the award. Most building owners use expert party wall services from the start.
What's included in a party wall award?
Awards include detailed work descriptions, timing, access arrangements, protection methods, damage procedures, and schedule of condition documentation. They’re legally binding on both parties once signed.
How close to boundaries can I build?
You can build up to your boundary line, but need notices if building on or along boundaries, or excavating within three metres when going deeper than neighbouring foundations.
What if building work causes damage to my neighbour's property?
