Party wall surveyors in Salford
Manchester Party Wall Surveyors provides RICS Chartered party wall surveyors in Salford (M3, M5–M7, M27, M28, M30, M50). 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 Salford
Salford ranges from terraced streets in Seedley, Langworthy and Eccles to semis and detached homes in Worsley, and high-density development around Salford Quays, MediaCityUK and Chapel Street.
Projects we see most: Loft conversions and extensions on terraces, and residential and commercial developments next to existing buildings.
Development around Chapel Street and the Quays often involves piling and basements next to occupied buildings, triggering Section 6. Suburban terraces see the same Section 2 loft work as Manchester.
Neighbourhoods we cover in Salford
Salford Quays, MediaCityUK, Chapel Street, Pendleton, Eccles, Worsley, Walkden, Swinton, and the surrounding streets.
Local tip
Around Chapel Street and the Quays, a single scheme can border several freeholders and leaseholders. Mapping every owner before notices go out avoids delays later.
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 Salford project.
Commercial work in Salford
We also act on commercial and mixed-use schemes in Salford, for developers and for neighbouring owners and occupiers. See commercial party wall services.
Planning and building control
Planning permission and building regulations in Salford are handled by Salford City 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 Salford
Do you cover all of Salford?
Yes. We work across Salford (M3, M5–M7, M27, M28, M30, M50) and the rest of Greater Manchester.
Do I need a party wall agreement for an extension in Salford?
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 Salford City Council planning permission?
Yes. Salford City Council deals with planning and building control. The Party Wall Act is a separate private process between you and your neighbours.
