An unserved notice can undo months of planning in a single phone call from a solicitor. If your Ealing extension, loft or basement is due to start and the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 has only just come onto your radar, you need a party wall surveyor Ealing builders and homeowners can mobilise immediately. We cover W5, W13 and the surrounding postcodes daily, confirm within hours whether your works are notifiable, and get valid notices out before the delay compounds. Acting now typically preserves your start date; waiting another fortnight rarely does.
Why Choose Us in Ealing
Ealing earned its Queen of the Suburbs reputation on the back of solid Edwardian streets, and it is precisely that stock — generous semis and terraces off Ealing Broadway, in Northfields and around Walpole Park — that is now being extended at pace. Party walls in these houses often carry original chimney stacks and shallow footings, so excavation checks matter. Close to the Bedford Park adjacency and within the borough’s conservation areas near Pitzhanger Manor, adjoining owners are protective and expect the statutory process done properly. Acton’s tighter Victorian terraces bring classic side-return and loft questions, while the Crossrail era has triggered a visible refurbishment boom around the new Elizabeth line stations, multiplying notifiable projects on the same streets. As a party wall surveyor Ealing residents meet on site rather than over a call centre, we bring that street-level knowledge to every appointment.
Our Party Wall Services in Ealing
Whether you are building or next door to someone who is, we manage the entire procedure. It begins with correctly drafted party wall notices — many DIY notices we see in Ealing are invalid, which resets the clock at the worst moment. Following dissent, we prepare balanced party wall awards covering methods, hours and access, and record the neighbouring property in a photographic schedule of condition before works start.
For rear extensions with new foundations, we assess trigger distances under the 3 and 6 metre rules; for anything contentious about the line of junction itself, our boundary disputes service can resolve matters before they harden into litigation. Clients receive fixed written fees, copies of everything served, and a completion pack that satisfies solicitors on a future sale. That combination of speed and thoroughness is why so many searches for a party wall surveyor Ealing end with a recommendation to us.
What Ealing Clients Say
Our side return in Northfields was three weeks from starting when we realised notices were needed. They were served within two days and both neighbours consented.
Helen, Northfields
Practical and unflappable. The neighbour’s surveyor in Acton pushed for unnecessary conditions and ours calmly negotiated them out of the award.

Party Wall FAQs for Ealing
My Edwardian semi near Walpole Park has a shared chimney — can I remove my breast?
Yes, with two months notice: cutting away a chimney breast from a party wall is notifiable work, and the remaining stack usually needs engineered support detailed in the award.
Do Ealing conservation areas change what my notice must include?
The notice content is fixed by the Act, but conservation-area schemes near Pitzhanger and Ealing Green often involve more cautious methods, and awards commonly reflect that with tighter working provisions.
How much should I budget for a party wall surveyor in Ealing?
A straightforward consented notice can cost very little; where surveyors are appointed, fees typically run to a few hundred pounds per adjoining owner. We confirm a fixed figure in writing before you commit.
