- Extending close to or up to the boundary line
- Making structural changes to shared or adjoining walls
- Carrying out excavations within 3 or 6 metres of a neighbouring property
- Removing or modifying party walls, boundary fences, or garden walls
We’ll assess your plans, handle all notice preparation and delivery, and make sure you’re meeting your obligations under the Act.
Been Served a Party Wall Notice in Warrington?
If you’ve received a notice from a neighbour planning works, you have legal rights under the Act, including:
- Appointing your own surveyor (usually at no cost to you)
- Requesting a Schedule of Condition to protect your property

What Is the Party Wall etc. Act 1996?
The Act provides a legal structure to manage construction work that could affect shared walls, boundary structures, or nearby foundations. It’s especially relevant for the kinds of home improvements and developments common throughout Warrington, from suburban extensions to internal alterations.
