The practice is RICS regulated and the surveyors carry over 30 years of combined experience on residential extension and rooftop schemes. Daylight and sunlight reports typically accompany the planning submission to Rochford District Council.
Where a developer is adding flats above an existing residential block, the existing occupants liaison role takes centre stage. We make initial contact with each leaseholder below the proposed units, attend meetings to discuss concerns, prepare Schedules of Condition for the flats directly below, and act as the named point of contact through construction. Practical site issues, parking, deliveries, scaffolding, access, get handled as they arise, with party wall services running on the building itself.
Airspace work in Rayleigh typically sits alongside daylight and sunlight, rights of light, and party wall workstreams on the same scheme. The same surveyor stays on the project from instruction to completion, and calls are answered by a qualified surveyor rather than a call centre.
On a well-run scheme, the Schedule of Condition removes most arguments about damage before they start, occupant concerns get raised and resolved during construction rather than after, and the project completes to programme. Planning sits with Rochford District Council, and a free initial assessment covers the most likely route on a given site along with the supporting workstreams that will run alongside the airspace work.
