Party wall work in Kingston
Surbiton grew up as a railway suburb from the 1840s, and its large Victorian villas, many now divided into flats, see loft conversions and rear extensions. New Malden and Tolworth are mostly interwar semis, where hip-to-gable lofts lead the way. Around Kingston town centre and Norbiton, the terraces take dormers and side returns.

Local things that affect party wall work
- Riverside ground. Near the Thames, gravels and a higher water table can matter for deeper footings and basements, so we read the site investigation as well as the drawings.
- Converted villas. Several owners in one building means more notices, and often a freeholder to track down.
- The council's role. Kingston Council handles planning and building control, not party wall matters.
Questions people ask
Do you cover Chessington and Tolworth?
Yes, as well as the rest of the borough.
My house in Surbiton is split into flats. Does the Act apply to work inside?
It can. The floor between flats with separate entrances can be a party structure, so work that cuts into it needs notice.
