Party wall surveyor in Maidenhead, Windsor and Slough

Do not confuse a wall at the plot edge with an existing party wall

For a new extension in Maidenhead, Windsor or Slough, distinguish a wall being built at the line of junction from an existing wall shared with the neighbouring property. Different statutory provisions may be relevant. The drawing should show whether the new wall is proposed wholly on the building owner’s land or astride the line. Make roof overhangs, gutter positions and foundation projections clear, and raise any disputed ownership position before the construction detail is settled.

What to send for a Maidenhead, Windsor and Slough enquiry

• Label whether the new wall is on your land or proposed astride the line.
• Show the foundation, roof edge and gutter in section.
• Keep disputed title questions separate from the notice assessment.

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

Can I build a new wall astride the boundary without agreement?

The position for a new wall astride the line of junction differs from a wall built wholly on your land. The adjoining owner’s consent and the precise statutory rights must be considered. Do not treat a party wall notice as blanket permission to take neighbouring land.

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.
