CHP Surveyors operates from offices in Wickford, London and Hampshire and has been established since 2004. Our team is RICS regulated and handles instructions across Brentwood, Shenfield, Hutton, Ingatestone, Pilgrims Hatch and Mountnessing. A Wickford base means faster site attendance than London-led practices on Brentwood jobs. Where projects also include planning-stage technical work, we coordinate with our daylight and sunlight reports team in the same instruction.
We draft and serve the notices, manage adjoining owner responses, and produce a detailed schedule of condition with photographs and written notes covering all relevant external and internal areas of the adjoining property. Where dissent is received or implied, we prepare the party wall award. The surveyor running the file is the surveyor on the phone, on site, and signing the documents. Building owners and adjoining owners across Brentwood get continuity from first call to final award, with no handover to junior staff or unfamiliar colleagues.
For Brentwood properties, where basement digs and large rear extensions are common, the award stage often involves detailed structural review, settlement monitoring proposals, and careful schedule of condition work covering both internal and external areas. The building owner generally covers reasonable fees on both sides, which is worth factoring in early. Statutory notice periods are fixed at two months for party structure works and one month for excavations. To discuss a specific project, book a free initial assessment.
