Party Wall Surveying Guide for Westminster
If you are planning construction work that affects a party wall or boundary in Westminster, a Building Owner must provide written notice two months in advance.
For excavation works, a one-month notice is required. To ensure all party wall matters are finalised before your project begins, it is recommended to appoint your Party Wall Surveyor three months before starting your building works.
Key Points:
Two months’ notice is required for building works affecting a party wall or boundary, and one month’s notice for excavation works.
Hire a Party Wall Surveyor three months before your construction begins to ensure all party wall matters are addressed promptly.
Not necessary to serve a Party Wall Notice, but once served, you have up to 12 months to commence work.
After serving a Party Wall Notice, the adjoining owner has fourteen days to respond, with possible outcomes being consent or dissent.

Sean W.
Icon have been amazing. From when I appointed them to the service of my award. Great service! Thank you again.
Ollie B.
Beau and Sadek dealt with my party wall matter in a friendly and efficient manner. My neighbour had refused to use an agreed surveyor and instead appointed a party wall surveyor who raised a number of detailed questions which Beau and Sadek answered rapidly. Highly recommended.
Justin D.
Beau and his team provided us a professional and satisfied service. There was 2 weeks delay due to mis-understanding but Beau’s team handled well and put great efforts to ensure we obtained the party wall award in time for our construction work. I would recommend their service.
Tao Fu
Thoroughly happy with Beau’s work as my party wall surveyor and would be happy to recommend him. He dealt with matters promptly, explained things well and alleviated stress on my part. He also handled my adjoining owner’s surveyor (one of “those” party wall surveyors) very well. Thank you very much, Beau!
Azz H.
Very good service Beau went the extra mile. Pre and post survey phone calls also really helped give me assurance. Highly recommend.
