CHP Surveyors has been established since 2004 with offices in Wickford, London and Hampshire. The team is RICS regulated and reaches Grays within 30 minutes via the A13. Local coverage extends to Tilbury, Chafford Hundred, West Thurrock, Aveley and Stanford-le-Hope in the same drive. Many commercial schemes near the Thames also need airspace development advice on rooftop or air rights work.
From the assessment onwards the surveyor drafts and serves the statutory notices, manages adjoining owner responses, and produces a thorough schedule of condition with photographs and detailed written notes. Where the matter is undisputed the paperwork stays proportionate. Where dispute arises, the party wall award is drafted properly, signed, and served. Calls stay with the named surveyor handling the file from first contact to final award. Building owners and adjoining owners across Thurrock Council's area get continuity throughout the process.
Statutory notice periods under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 are fixed at two months for party structure works and one month for excavations within the three or six metre thresholds. Building owners generally cover reasonable surveyor fees on both sides. For Grays projects, particularly those tying into wider regeneration schemes, getting party wall steps in motion early supports a smoother build.
