We specialise in chartered surveying on dense urban sites where rooftop and upward extension schemes are most common. The practice is RICS regulated with over 30 years of combined residential extension and rooftop experience. Daylight and sunlight reports typically accompany the planning submission given the impact of new height on neighbouring properties.
On homeowner-led upward extensions across Raynes Park, South Wimbledon, Colliers Wood, and the borough's terraced areas, the focus shifts to the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, neighbour relations, and protection of the existing structure during construction. Airspace development advice covers feasibility on the more complex schemes.
Airspace work in Merton 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 handover.
Strong liaison and a thorough Schedule of Condition deal with most of this before it starts. Residents get one named contact, the developer gets a structured process for concerns raised, and the Schedule provides documented evidence if a damage claim arises later. Planning sits with the London Borough of Merton, and a free initial assessment covers feasibility and the supporting workstreams on a specific site.
