MET SURVEYORS

Trusted Party Wall Surveyors in Hillingdon, UB8 & UB10

Hillingdon is a diverse borough in West London, home to a mix of 1930s semi-detached houses, Victorian terraces, post-war homes, new-build estates, and commercial developments. With areas like Uxbridge, Ruislip, and Ickenham undergoing rapid growth, many building works—rear extensions, loft conversions, garden offices, and basement projects—fall under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.

​

At MET Surveyors, we provide professional Party Wall services across Hillingdon, ensuring your construction or renovation project is fully compliant, dispute-free, and neighbour-friendly. Whether you’re extending a family home in Ruislip, developing flats in Uxbridge, or renovating a conservation property in Ickenham, we deliver precise surveying and expert guidance at every step.

​

Common Party Wall Scenarios in Hillingdon

Hillingdon’s mix of suburban homes, conservation zones, and large-scale developments creates many Party Wall needs:

• Rear Extensions: Popular in semi-detached homes across Hayes and Ruislip; typically require notices.

• Loft Conversions: 1930s and Victorian terraces in Hillingdon often involve shared party walls.

• Basement Conversions: Increasingly popular in Uxbridge townhouses and larger detached properties.

• Boundary Wall Rebuilds: Common in Ickenham and Ruislip’s larger plots and garden layouts.

• New-Build Estates: Large residential schemes in Yiewsley and West Drayton require multi-owner coordination.

• Commercial-to-Residential Conversions: Flats over shops in Uxbridge High Street often involve multiple freeholders.

​
