Party Wall Notices
A party wall notice is an official document that lets your neighbours know about any planned building or renovation work that could affect shared walls or nearby structures. It’s an important legal step, and as part of our architectural service, we handle the preparation of these notices for you.
The notice is there to keep things clear and upfront, giving neighbours the opportunity to raise any concerns about possible disruption or structural impact. Following party wall legislation properly helps make sure your project runs smoothly and responsibly from the start.
Our Party Wall Process
We handle every aspect of the Party Wall process, ensuring compliance and minimizing delays to your project timeline.
Speaking with your neighbours
Before we send out any official paperwork, we always suggest having a friendly chat with your neighbours about your plans. It's a great way to keep things on good terms and gives them a chance to ask questions or share any concerns they might have. Getting everyone on the same page early makes everything much smoother when the formal notices arrive.
Serving the notices
Our dedicated party wall surveyor will serve the notices on your behalf to each affected neighbour, asking for their consent to start your building work. Along with the notices, we'll include copies of your detailed architectural drawings so they can see exactly what you're planning. This gives them all the info they need to make their decision.
Neighbours response
Your neighbours have exactly 14 days to get back to you once they've received the notice.
Neighbours Consent
Great news! When your neighbours give consent, you don't need a formal party wall award. We'd still recommend getting a party wall surveyor to document the area before you start building - it's extra protection that helps avoid any disputes down the line.
Neighbours Dissent
Don't worry if your neighbour objects or doesn't get back to you in time - it happens! You'll need to appoint a party wall surveyor to create an official award that lets you carry on with your work. We work with a brilliant, experienced party wall surveyor who we'd be happy to put you in touch with.

FAQs
How does the design process work?
Our design process begins with an initial consultation with your dedicated designer. We will discuss your vision, requirements and we will provide ideas for your design based on previously completed projects.

Following this we can revise the plans in any way you like to ensure you a completely happy with the design.
