I can’t recommend Richard and Hourican Associates highly enough. From the outset of our loft conversion project, they demonstrated professionalism, deep expertise, and a calm, solution-focused approach that proved invaluable. Not only did Richard provide clear, practical guidance through the technical and regulatory aspects, but he also managed sensitive party wall matters with diplomacy and clarity. His ability to communicate effectively, mediate concerns, and ensure we remained compliant with all building approvals gave us great peace of mind throughout the process. If you're considering any home extension or loft work, especially where neighbour relations or party wall matters might become tricky, I’d strongly recommend working with Hourican Associates. An absolute asset to any project.
Provided excellent advice on handling of a party wall award - would recommend.
Very professional service
Richard came highly recommended and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone - especially if, like us, the party wall issues are complex. Richard is terrifically knowledgeable about the practices and law concerning party wall boundaries and very experienced. He is also great to deal with - responsive and highly professional. In our case, he was able to navigate the complexities (and personalities involved) with great skill. We are enormously grateful to him.
Richard has acted as my Party wall surveyor and has has been incredibly responsive, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process - he has a great set of contacts so if he doesn’t know the answer to something, he’ll know a man you does - throughly recommend
Our friend introduced Richard to us to help on party wall matters. His work was delivered in a very efficient and timely way with high quality. Great experience and highly recommended.
