Free Impartial Party Wall Advice

Protecting Your Home, While the Work Goes On Next Door.

We act as your Party Wall Surveyor to document, protect, and enforce your rights — so you can enjoy your home while the builders get on with theirs.

Protect Your Home TODAY

Clear, fair, and protective Party Wall support for adjoining owners.

From inspections to Awards, we make sure your home stays protected throughout

Step 4

Notice or No Notice — We’ve Got You Covered

If your neighbour has served notice on you, we’ll respond on your behalf to make sure your rights are protected. If they haven’t, we’ll contact them directly and remind them of their legal obligations under the Party Wall Act — so you’re not left chasing or second-guessing.

Joint Inspection, Total Protection

Together with your neighbour’s surveyor, we carry out a full inspection of your property. Every crack, mark, and detail gets recorded properly — so there’s a clear baseline before any work begins.

Step 3

Your Voice in the Final Agreement

We don’t just “note down” your concerns — we make sure they’re upheld. By liaising directly with your neighbour’s surveyor, we ensure your protections are written into the Party Wall Award, giving you solid ground if issues arise later.

Step 4

Peace of Mind, Even After the Dust Settles

When the builders finish next door, we return to inspect your property again. If any damage has arisen, it’s documented and dealt with — so you’re not left footing the bill.

Protected Homes. Smooth Builds. 5 Stars All Round.

Review on behalf of my parents- Mr & Mrs Sparrow We were really struggling to get our Land Registry plans approved due to confusing and unhelpful advice from a solicitor. Then we spoke to Kev — and what a difference! With just one quick call, he clearly explained what needed to be done and suggested we submit both our own and our neighbour’s plans together. Thanks to his expert advice, everything was approved straight away. He completed the plans quickly, efficiently, and at a very reasonable price. No stress, no hassle — just a great service from start to finish. Absolutely brilliant. Highly recommend Kev to anyone needing Land Registry Compliant Plans.

Kevin is flexible, listens to what has been asked. He is knowlegeable about ideas and suggestions and gives you leave options. The plans were clear to read and were done to a professional high standard. If you live in Essex and want a good value price then Kevin is the man to contact. My plans were submitted on Monday as the price is going out and they were done in a timely manner.

Kev from Surv Design was incredibly helpful when we needed land registry compliant plans drawn up for our leasehold property. After a couple of months when our buyers solicitor came back asking for revisions to be made, we received these within a couple of days. Thank you Kev for making a stressful process much easier! We are very grateful for your time and help!

Kev and the team have been amazing at working with me to ensure my planning application goes through smoothly. I live in a conservation area so it was daunting to even begin the process but Kev put me at ease straight away. Communication has been great and I would highly recommend Surv Design.

My experience in dealing with Mr Kev Miller of Essex Architects and Party Wall Surveyors is one of thankfulness. Having discussed my problem with Kev, which he fully understood, I sent him some follow-up details which were used by him to give a quick response. I am extremely grateful for his time, knowledge and understanding in dealing with my problem.
