Party wall surveyors in Bury
Manchester Party Wall Surveyors provides RICS Chartered party wall surveyors in Bury (BL0, BL8, BL9). We serve notices, act for building owners and neighbours, prepare schedules of condition and party wall awards for extensions, loft conversions, basements and new development.
Party wall work in Bury
Bury has stone and brick terraces, Victorian semis and large areas of inter-war and modern semi-detached housing.
Projects we see most: Extensions, loft conversions and garage conversions.
Extensions next to neighbours with older, shallow footings usually need Section 6 notices; terraced loft work needs Section 2.
Neighbourhoods we cover in Bury
Bury town centre, Ramsbottom, Tottington, Radcliffe, Whitefield, and the surrounding streets.
Local tip
Stone terraces in Ramsbottom and Tottington can have rubble-filled walls. Cutting in steels needs a clear method in the notice drawings.
Notice periods are 1 month for Sections 1 and 6 and 2 months for Section 2. Check which notice you need, or get an instant estimate for your Bury project.
Planning and building control
Planning permission and building regulations in Bury are handled by Bury Council. They're separate from the Party Wall Act, and you may need all three.
What clients say
Guy charged a fair price & delivers a first class service. He provided me with a very detailed schedule of condition which was required on a current project. He was also very generous with good, professional advice which I really appreciated as matters pertaining to party wall issues can be confusing & can potentially be very costly as there are many unscrupulous companies around. Great company to deal with.
Party wall questions in Bury
Do you cover all of Bury?
Yes. We work across Bury (BL0, BL8, BL9) and the rest of Greater Manchester.
Do I need a party wall agreement for an extension in Bury?
Often, yes. You need notice if the extension wall is built on or up to the boundary, or the foundations are within 3 m of a neighbour's building and deeper than its footings. Serve notice at least one month before work, or two months for work to a party wall.
Is the Party Wall Act separate from Bury Council planning permission?
Yes. Bury Council deals with planning and building control. The Party Wall Act is a separate private process between you and your neighbours.
