CHP Surveyors has been established since 2004 with offices in Wickford, London and Hampshire. The team is RICS regulated. Our Wickford base sits centrally in Essex, with comfortable reach to every district from Saffron Walden in the north-west to Harwich in the north-east, Tilbury in the south-west, and Southend-on-Sea in the south-east. Many instructions across the county also pair with daylight and sunlight reports at the planning stage.
Common project types vary by district. London-fringe boroughs bring basement digs and large extensions on the Victorian and Edwardian stock. Central Essex generates volume residential extension work to terraced and semi-detached housing. Coastal districts add conservation refurbishments and seafront infill. Across all of these, we serve party structure notices, line of junction notices, and excavation notices as the Act requires, and produce the schedule of condition before any disturbance. Calls stay with the named surveyor running the file. Building owners and adjoining owners across Essex get one direct line through to the final award.
Notice periods under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 apply the same way across Essex: two months for party structure works, one month for excavations within the three or six metre thresholds. The building owner generally covers reasonable surveyor fees on both sides. To discuss a party wall project in any Essex district, from Saffron Walden to Southend-on-Sea, book a free initial assessment.
