When Should You Hire a Party Wall Surveyor in Huyton, Roby & Tarbock (L36)?
If you're planning construction work in L36—whether in Huyton Village, Roby, Tarbock Green, Bowring Park, Page Moss or nearby Prescot and Whiston—you may need to appoint a qualified Party Wall Surveyor. Under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, building owners are legally required to serve notice on neighbouring properties before starting specific types of work:
Alterations to a shared wall—such as removing chimney breasts, installing steel beams, or increasing the wall height—will usually require a Party Wall Award in Huyton, Roby or Tarbock.
Excavations within 3 to 6 metres of neighbouring homes—often required in basement conversions or rear extensions—are subject to the Party Wall Act and require expert advice from a Party Wall Surveyor in L36 Liverpool.
Building a new wall on or near the boundary in areas like Huyton Village, Tarbock Green or Roby often requires formal notice. A Schedule of Condition Survey in L36 is strongly advised to protect both parties.

L36 Party Wall FAQs
A party wall is a shared wall or boundary structure between two properties—common in L36 terraces, semis and flats around Huyton Village, Roby and Tarbock Green. The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 governs any building work that may affect these structures or nearby excavations.
You’ll need a Party Wall Agreement before starting any work that affects shared walls or boundaries, or if excavating within 3 to 6 metres of a neighbouring structure. This is typical for loft extensions, basements, and rear builds across Huyton, Roby and Tarbock. Notices should be served at least two months before work begins.
If your neighbour dissents, this triggers a formal dispute under the Party Wall Act. Both parties must appoint surveyors—or agree on a single surveyor—to issue a Party Wall Award. Our L36 Party Wall Surveyors handle this impartially and efficiently to keep your project moving and avoid unnecessary delays.
The Party Wall process in L36 typically takes 4 to 6 weeks from the date the notice is served. Timescales may vary depending on neighbour responses and the complexity of the work. Contacting a surveyor early helps avoid delays.
