Party wall surveyor in Kenilworth

Assess a side return using plans and sections together

For a side return or rear extension in Kenilworth, looking only at the new wall above ground can miss the operation that needs notice. The excavation may approach an adjoining building even where the new wall is set back. Alternatively, a project may alter an existing shared wall without introducing a new foundation. Explain both aspects when sending plans. Clear dimensions and a labelled construction sequence help separate the proposed work from features that will remain untouched.

What to send for a Kenilworth enquiry

• Show the existing and proposed walls with different labels.
• Include the excavation depth and nearest adjoining structure.
• Identify any temporary support proposed during the work.

Include the property address, the intended start date and any notices, responses or awards already issued. We advise in Kenilworth. This is a service coverage page; it does not claim a separate office in each town.

Can we agree to use one party wall surveyor?

Yes. Where the statutory dispute procedure applies, the owners may agree to appoint one agreed surveyor. That surveyor acts impartially under the Act. The appointment is distinct from one owner obtaining preliminary advice before notices are served.

Choose the right party wall service

If you are carrying out work, our building owner service starts with identifying the notifiable operations and relevant adjoining owners. If you have received a notice, our adjoining owner service can help you understand the proposal and your response options.

Where a dispute arises under the Act, the owners can consider an agreed surveyor or separate appointments. A party wall award records the relevant statutory decisions and conditions; it is not the same as planning permission.

Fees and timing

See our party wall fees and guidance for the published service prices, shown + VAT where applicable. Confirm the scope for the particular project before appointing. The notice period and time needed for a response or award depend on the provision used and the circumstances. Allow time for the process before arranging the relevant works.
