Party wall surveyors in Stockport
Manchester Party Wall Surveyors provides RICS Chartered party wall surveyors in Stockport (SK1–SK7). 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 Stockport
Stockport covers Victorian semis in the Heatons, terraced streets around Edgeley and Shaw Heath, and inter-war and post-war semis further out.
Projects we see most: Extensions and loft conversions on period semis in the Heatons, and terraced loft and rear extensions closer to the town centre.
Larger period semis in Heaton Moor and Heaton Mersey often have shallow footings and shared chimney stacks, so extensions and chimney work regularly need Section 2 and Section 6 notices.
Neighbourhoods we cover in Stockport
Heaton Moor, Heaton Mersey, Heaton Chapel, Edgeley, Davenport, Reddish, Marple, and the surrounding streets.
Local tip
In the Heatons, large period semis often have cellars. Excavation for an extension next to a neighbour's cellar can still trigger Section 6, depending on depth.
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 Stockport project.
Commercial work in Stockport
We also act on commercial and mixed-use schemes in Stockport, for developers and for neighbouring owners and occupiers. See commercial party wall services.
Planning and building control
Planning permission and building regulations in Stockport are handled by Stockport Council. They're separate from the Party Wall Act, and you may need all three.
What clients say
We’ve worked with Manchester Party Wall Surveyors on several projects and they’ve been great every time. Guy is efficient, clear, and easy to deal with. The process is always smooth and well-managed. Highly recommend.
Party wall questions in Stockport
Do you cover all of Stockport?
Yes. We work across Stockport (SK1–SK7) and the rest of Greater Manchester.
Do I need a party wall agreement for an extension in Stockport?
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 Stockport Council planning permission?
Yes. Stockport Council deals with planning and building control. The Party Wall Act is a separate private process between you and your neighbours.
