Award-Winning Technical Precision in Party Wall Matters

Our team is led by Director David Haynes (BSc Hons, MRICS, MFPWS) and Associate Jon Norris (BSc Hons, MFPWS). We don't just follow industry standards; we set them. We are proud to have achieved Joint 1st place in the Bristol region Pyramus & Thisbe benchmark test, a testament to our technical precision and depth of knowledge in party wall legislation.

We are active members of the Faculty of Party Wall Surveyors and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), ensuring that every notice served and every award published is legally robust and professionally handled.

Beyond the Boundary: Expert Handling of Neighbourly Disputes

Property issues often extend beyond the Party Wall Act. We specialise in the "grey areas" of property ownership that can cause significant delays or legal friction if not handled correctly. Our expertise includes:

  • Boundary Dispute Resolution: Clear, professional advice to settle disagreements over land limits.
  • Access Licences: Negotiating rights for essential works, including scaffolding and crane oversails.
  • Neighbourly Agreements: Resolving issues regarding property damage, want of repair, or trespass.

Professional Oversight for Your Construction Projects

Beyond our niche in neighbourly matters, we provide a full suite of professional building surveying services to ensure your project is built on a solid foundation. We help you diagnose issues before they become expensive problems and manage works to ensure they meet your specifications.

  1. Building Pathology Reports: Expert diagnosis of structural defects and building failures.
  2. Schedules of Condition: Detailed records to protect your liability before construction begins.
  3. Contract Administration: Managing your building works from procurement through to completion.
  4. Schedules of Works: Precise specifications to ensure quality and cost-control.

"Our mission is to provide clear, independent, and expert advice that protects your property and your peace of mind."
