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 for schemes that add height in the borough's denser areas.
On homeowner-led upward extensions across 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. Party wall services are nearly always involved given Haringey's dense building pattern and the prevalence of shared structures.
Airspace work in Haringey 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 Haringey, and rights of light assessments often run in parallel where new height affects surrounding properties.
