About PWS UK
London Party Wall Specialists
We are a dedicated party wall surveying practice serving homeowners, tenants, and landlords across London. Our focus is simple: expert advice, impartial service, and a process that works for everyone.
Our story
Built Around One Specialism
PWS UK was founded with a single purpose: to provide specialist party wall surveying services that homeowners can genuinely rely on. Unlike general practices that treat party wall work as a sideline, it is all we do.
Our surveyors have worked on hundreds of projects - from straightforward rear extensions in terraced streets to complex excavations in dense urban settings. That depth of experience means we anticipate problems before they arise and resolve disputes efficiently when they do.
Our approach is always impartial. Whether we are acting for a building owner or an adjoining owner, our job is to apply the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 correctly and fairly — protecting both parties and keeping projects on track.
Qualifications & expertise
Qualified, Experienced, Specialist
Party wall surveying is a specialist discipline. The Act is technical, the disputes can be complex, and the consequences of getting it wrong — for your project or your property — can be significant. We bring the qualifications and experience to get it right.
Qualified Surveyors
Our surveyors hold various academic and professional qualifications. They have extensive specialist experience in construction, property, and surveying.
Party Wall Specialists
We focus exclusively on party wall work. This means our knowledge of the Act, case law, and best practice is current, deep, and applied every day.
Impartial & Independent
We act with strict impartiality. Whether appointed by a building owner or an adjoining owner, our duty is to the Act — not to either party's preferred outcome.
London-Wide Coverage
We operate across all London boroughs, with particular experience in the dense terraced streets of inner London where party wall issues are very common.
