What is a party wall surveyor?
A party wall surveyor is a specialist who resolves disputes related to shared walls during construction or renovation of said wall.
Their judgement isn’t a matter of opinion; they are experts in the Party Wall Act of 1996. Everything our party wall surveyors do is in accordance with that act. They ensure that the act is administered fairly so that no boundary lines are crossed.
The Party Wall Act of 1996 governs three particular types of construction work, and covers all properties within England and Wales. It covers works done directly to a party wall, party structure (i.e. a ceiling or a floor) or party fence wall.
In addition to this, if you’re performing an excavation within six metres of a neighbouring structure then it’s also worth getting in touch with us as that could cause a dispute.
Finally, if you’re building a new wall that extends all the way up to a boundary line, then calling a party wall surveyor is the way to go.

When should you hire a party wall surveyor in East London?
There are a host of reasons why you should hire a party wall surveyor in East London. If you’re desperate to avoid a dispute and want peace of mind before starting a renovation project, then their service is essential.
- Keeping you on the right side of the law – Thanks to their supreme legal knowledge a party wall surveyor in East London can keep you on the right side of the law. Before your renovation project has even begun, they can tell you if you will face any legal scrutiny. They will also prevent you from starting projects that fall foul of the Party Wall Act, saving you thousands of pounds in the process and preventing any stress that would’ve been caused by the project.
- Resolving disputes – It’s a nightmare scenario. You’ve been planning it for months, the vast renovation project that will transform your home, whilst turbocharging its value in the process. Yet before shovels can even hit the ground, your neighbour angrily rejects it, unhappy with the potential disturbance. That’s where we come in. We can resolve the dispute once and for all, by offering you a legally binding party wall award. This gives you the legal right to continue with your project, regardless of your neighbour’s objections.
- Protects properties from getting damaged – At Stokemont we pride ourselves on crisis prevention, as opposed to crisis resolution. Our expert team of party wall surveyors based in East London can tell exactly when a project will cause damage to you or your neighbour’s property. By inspecting the renovation plans we can tell immediately if a project is going to run into trouble. That’s why our service is so essential, as we can ensure that nobody involved suffers any unnecessary damage to their property.
