Overview
Loft Conversion Party Wall Notice for homeowners in West London
A loft conversion that involves cutting into or bearing on a party wall triggers the statutory notice process. The most common trigger is the insertion of a steel beam into the shared wall to support the new loft floor. Flank wall raising and shared chimney stack work are also notifiable. Failing to serve notice before starting loft work on a party wall is a breach of the Act. In West London, this route also needs to respond to local planning context, housing stock, and the technical constraints that shape residential alterations.
