Party wall surveyors for fit-outs and refurbishment

Fit-out work that can need notice

• Forming openings or inserting steels in a wall shared with the next unit
• Work to party floors between separately owned units
• Cutting into shared walls for ducts, flues and services
• Underpinning or thickening shared walls for new loads
• Raising a shared parapet for new plant

Working next to trading businesses

Neighbouring shops, offices and restaurants need to keep trading. Awards can set working hours, noise and dust controls, and access arrangements so the work causes as little disruption as possible.

Landlord and tenant interests

In multi-let buildings both the landlord and tenants with leases over a year can be owners under the Act. We make sure every interest receives notice.

Common questions

Does internal fit-out work need a party wall notice?

Only if it affects a party structure, such as a shared wall or floor. Purely internal work within your own unit usually doesn't.

Can work be done out of hours?

The award can allow or restrict out-of-hours working, balancing your programme against the neighbour's business.
