Neighbour and Party Wall Support

Extensions often touch more than your own home. The Neighbour and Party Wall Support service helps you navigate the human and legal side of building next to others – keeping relationships positive and the programme moving.

We begin with a simple strategy for early communication, sharing clear drawings and explaining what the work involves in plain language. Small gestures at this stage reduce anxiety and build trust, which can prevent delays later on.

Where the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies, we guide you through notices, timelines and next steps. We coordinate with a party wall surveyor when needed and align our drawings to support their process. If access, scaffolding or temporary boundaries are required, we help plan these practically so they are manageable for everyone.

This service also covers sensible site etiquette – working hours, privacy considerations and protecting neighbouring gardens. By setting expectations early and documenting agreements, we reduce risk and keep momentum steady from the first letter to the last snag.

The outcome is a smoother build with fewer surprises – a respectful process that protects your project, your timeline and your neighbourly goodwill.
