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. Airspace development advice covers feasibility on the more complex schemes.
On homeowner-led upward extensions across the borough's Edwardian terraced areas and the outer suburbs, 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 the prevalence of shared structures across the terraced streets.
Airspace work in Kingston upon Thames 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.
The named occupant liaison surveyor sits alongside that. Each leaseholder gets one named person who answers queries during construction, attends meetings on site or remotely, and escalates issues directly with the contractor. Planning sits with the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, and rights of light assessments often run in parallel where new height affects surrounding properties.
