Understanding Party Wall Building Works Bridgnorth

A party wall is any wall or structure that divides two separate properties. This could be the common wall between terraced houses, a shared garden boundary wall, or even sections of buildings close to one another. When undertaking works that affect these shared structures, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies, ensuring that the interests and rights of both the property owner embarking on the project and their neighbours are protected.

Common construction activities that fall under this legislation include:

  • Adding an extension or conservatory
  • Installing steel beams that impact a shared wall
  • Demolitions or alterations to existing party walls
  • Loft and basement conversions
  • Excavating near adjoining buildings
  • Building or repositioning boundary walls

At Faulkner Surveyors, we bring years of experience and deep knowledge of these kinds of projects to Bridgnorth property owners. Whether your property is in the historic town centre or the surrounding countryside, our tailored services fit your specific needs.
