Precision in Every Detail

Professional Party Wall surveying services for commercial property owners, developers and adjoining owners.

Party Wall Surveyor Bolton

DRW Surveyors provides professional Party Wall surveying services for commercial property owners, developers, landlords and businesses undertaking building works in Bolton, Manchester and the surrounding areas.

Party Wall etc. Act 1996

The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 provides a legal framework for certain building works that may affect adjoining properties. Depending on the proposed works, a Building Owner may be required to serve formal notice on affected Adjoining Owners before work begins.

Party Wall matters can arise on commercial refurbishment, redevelopment, extension and development projects, particularly where there are multiple owners, occupiers or other interested parties.

A Planned Approach to Commercial Party Wall Matters

Depending on the proposed works, notices may be required in relation to:

  • Section 1 – Line of Junction
  • Section 3 – Party Structure
  • Section 6 – Adjacent Excavation, including the 3-metre and 6-metre rules


Dealing with Party Wall matters at an early stage can help minimise the risk of disputes and avoid unnecessary delays to your construction programme.

How DRW Surveyors Can Help

DRW Surveyors can review your proposed works and advise whether the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is likely to apply and which notices may be required.

Where appointed, we can act as the Building Owner’s Surveyor or Adjoining Owner’s Surveyor, administering the Party Wall process in accordance with the Act.

Our services can include reviewing proposed works, preparing and serving notices, recording Schedules of Condition, liaising with adjoining owners and surveyors, and preparing Party Wall Awards where required.

Discuss Your Requirements

Whether you are planning commercial refurbishment, redevelopment, extension or other works that may fall within the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, DRW Surveyors can provide clear advice on the notices, appointments and procedures that may be required.
