Party walls and building work
When works begin
When carrying out building works you must:
- avoid causing unnecessary inconvenience
- protect your neighbour’s property from damage caused by the works, and fix or pay for any damage that is caused
Access to your neighbour’s property
Your neighbour must allow surveyors and workmen access to their property during usual working hours to carry out the building works. They must be given 14 days’ notice except in an emergency.
