About
You legally need a Party Wall Surveyor when your building works Bridgnorth affect a shared wall or are close enough to a neighbour’s property that they could be impacted. This is all covered under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996—a law designed to protect both you and your neighbours during construction.
Here’s when you’ll typically need one:
1. You’re working on a shared wall – e.g., cutting into it for beams, removing a chimney, or raising its height.
2. You’re building at or near the boundary – such as extensions or new walls close to your neighbour’s property.
3. You’re excavating nearby – within 3 to 6 metres of another building and deeper than its foundations.
Why It Matters
It’s not just about being neighbourly (though that helps!). If you skip these steps, your neighbour can legally stop your work or take you to court. A Party Wall Surveyor ensures everything is handled properly—avoiding delays, disputes, and costly mistakes.
At Faulkner Surveyors, we understand that even the smallest building works Bridgnorth can cause big worries between neighbours. This happens most when people share walls or boundaries.
That’s why we step in early to help prevent misunderstandings before they turn into costly legal issues.
