Party Wall Advice for Owners of Properties in Lewisham
Our team of specialist party wall surveyors have been advising owners in Lewisham for decades. Whether we are dealing with an extension that incorporates a wall at the boundary or a loft conversion with a rear dormer, our focus is on finding a fair balance between the building owner’s desire to complete their works as quickly as possible and the need to minimise risk and inconvenience to adjoining owners.
The process starts with the owner who is proposing to undertake work falling within the scope of the Act notifying any affected adjoining owners. Owners can prepare their own notices, but as they must include certain specific information and be served in a particular way, we’re often asked to do that for them.
Below you will find links to the hundreds of positive reviews we’ve received from both building owners and adjoining owners in and around Lewisham. Call today to take advantage of our expertise.

About Lewisham
Lewisham unfolds as a diverse and vibrant borough, flanked by the creative dynamism of Peckham and the historic elegance of Greenwich. This enclave, woven into the city’s cultural tapestry, thrives as a melting pot of communities, seamlessly blending modernity with a rich historical backdrop.
Lewisham’s transport nexus is a testament to its accessibility, with a web of buses, DLR, and trains converging to connect the borough to neighbouring districts and beyond.
A gem within Lewisham’s cultural crown is the Horniman Museum, a repository of anthropological treasures and natural wonders. The museum’s extensive collections, housed in a striking building surrounded by landscaped gardens, make it a beacon of intellectual and aesthetic exploration within the borough.
Delving into Lewisham’s historical threads, the borough bears the imprint of Rosa May Billinghurst, a pioneering suffragette. Billinghurst, who used a modified tricycle to navigate the streets, played a crucial role in the suffragette movement. Her courageous activism echoes through Lewisham’s past, a reminder of the borough’s significance in the struggle for women’s rights.
