End-to-end Party Wall Act 1996 service for Hillingdon — Section 1, 3 and 6 notices, schedule of condition surveys, party wall award coordination. We handle the process so your Hillingdon build starts without neighbour disputes.
One month before building at the boundary or excavating within three metres of a neighbour’s foundations, two months before cutting into a shared wall. On the 6m prior approval route Hillingdon waves most schemes through, but the party wall clock runs separately.
| Section | Work it catches | Notice period |
|---|---|---|
| Section 1 | New wall at or astride the boundary | 1 month |
| Section 2 | Cutting into or raising a shared wall | 2 months |
| Section 6(1) | Excavating within 3m, deeper than their footings | 1 month |
| Section 6(2) | Excavating within 6m, inside a 45-degree line | 1 month |
| No reply within 14 days | deemed dissent, surveyors appointed | Section 10 |
| Hillingdon larger-extension notifications | 476 | 354 not required |
Sources: the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, sections 1, 2, 6 and 10, read at 1 September 2026; Hillingdon figures from MHCLG District Planning Application Statistics (PS1 and PS2), twelve quarters to March 2026. A prior approval ruling of ‘not required’ means the extension may be built in planning terms; it says nothing at all about the party wall position.
In Hillingdon — 1930s semi-detached dominates; Metropolitan Green Belt covers much of north Hillingdon; Victorian cottages in Uxbridge and Ruislip villages; post-war housing near Heathrow for the most part — a party wall services package is the full measured-survey-to-submission drawing set London Borough of Hillingdon needs in order to determine an application: existing and proposed plans, elevations and sections at 1:100 and 1:50, a location and site plan, and the supporting statements the case officer asks for.

Every Hillingdon postcode district we draw in, the stock that dominates it and the authority that validates a party wall package there. Hillingdon fees below are the statutory England rates for 2026, not party wall package estimates.
| Postcode | Area | Dominant stock | What it means for a party wall package |
|---|---|---|---|
| UB4 | Hayes / Yeading | 1930s semi-detached, post-war estates | UB4 covers Hayes / Yeading only; Hillingdon Council handles the party wall package. |
| UB7 | West Drayton / Sipson / Harmondsworth | 1930s semi-detached, post-war | Where owners disagree, an award drafted by the appointed surveyors settles the terms, and either side may appeal it to the county court inside a fortnight. Nothing about a UB7 job crosses a planning desk; the award is the document that governs how the work proceeds. |
| UB8 | Uxbridge / Cowley | Georgian fragments, 1930s semi-detached, post-war flats | Uxbridge / Cowley is inside UB8. The party wall route is statutory without being municipal — it runs on the Act's own notice periods, which is why it is started before Hillingdon Council is approached rather than after. |
| UB9 | Denham / Harefield | Tudor and Georgian fragments, 1930s semi-detached | No council validates a party wall award. The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is a private process between neighbouring owners, with surveyors appointed by them rather than by an authority. The postcode still matters for the building work it accompanies: a UB9 address in Harefield is Greater London and Hillingdon's to determine, while a UB9 address in Denham is in Buckinghamshire, and none of it goes to Hillingdon. |
| UB10 | Hillingdon / Ickenham | 1930s semi-detached, Tudor fragments | Hillingdon / Ickenham sits inside UB10, but a party wall matter never reaches Hillingdon Council: notice goes to the adjoining owner under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, and a dissent is settled by the appointed surveyors. |
| UB11 | Stockley Park | 1930s semi-detached dominates; Metropolitan Green Belt covers much of north Hillingdon; Victorian cottages in Uxbridge and Ruislip villages; post-war housing near Heathrow | Stockley Park sits inside UB11, but a party wall matter never reaches Hillingdon Council: notice goes to the adjoining owner under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, and a dissent is settled by the appointed surveyors. |
| HA4 | Ruislip | 1930s semi-detached, Tudor cottages | Written consent from the neighbour is the quickest ending, and it is entirely in their gift. Interwar building runs deep in this part of the borough: 29.8% of dwellings carry a 1930s date in the Valuation Office Agency's 31 March 2025 return, and a pair from that decade shares one wall and one owner to agree with. |
| HA5 | Pinner / Eastcote | Tudor fragments, Edwardian villas, 1930s semi-detached | HA5 straddles a boundary: Pinner / Eastcote addresses fall to Hillingdon Council or Harrow Council, so confirm which authority validates the party wall package before submitting HA5 drawings. |
Roof pitch, wall build-up and plot depth change every few Hillingdon streets, and each one changes what a party wall package can achieve at that address.
Hillingdon conservation designations: there are 29 across Hillingdon Council, Northwood, Harefield, Ickenham among them. Designation costs a Hillingdon owner the permitted-development route: a party wall package then needs a £548 householder application over 8 weeks, in place of the £249 prior approval route that takes 6 weeks. Northwood is the Hillingdon designation that most often changes a party wall package design.
No blanket Article 4 over Hillingdon: Hillingdon Council has not withdrawn permitted development across Hillingdon, so a party wall package outside a Hillingdon conservation area usually keeps it. The £274 Lawful Development Certificate is still the document a HA4 owner wants on file.
Hillingdon housing stock: 1930s semi-detached dominates; Metropolitan Green Belt covers much of north Hillingdon; Victorian cottages in Uxbridge and Ruislip villages; post-war housing near Heathrow. Largest outer west London borough; significant Green Belt; Heathrow noise contours affect planning decisions in Harmondsworth and Sipson. Read that before choosing a party wall package route in Hillingdon — construction, not postcode, sets what is achievable. Hillingdon Council charges £548 for a householder application and has 8 weeks to determine it.

Direct answers to the questions Hillingdon homeowners ask every week about party wall services.
Start a free quote →You need Party Wall Act notices if your Hillingdon project involves: building on or astride a boundary (Section 1), cutting into a party wall or party structure (Section 3), or excavating within 3m/6m of an adjoining property's foundations (Section 6). Most loft conversions, extensions and basement digs in Hillingdon trigger at least one section.
If your neighbour consents, that is the whole cost. If they dissent, surveyors must be appointed for the Award and their fees are additional, per neighbour. Notices are included in our Complete architectural packages at no extra charge. See our fees.
If all adjoining owners in Hillingdon consent: 14 days (Section 3/6 notice) or 1 month (Section 1 notice). If they dissent and surveyors must be appointed, allow 6–8 weeks for the Award. We serve notices as early as possible so the process runs in parallel with your planning application.
No — starting notifiable works in Hillingdon before serving valid notices or obtaining a Party Wall Award is a breach of the Party Wall Act 1996. It can result in injunctions, damages and loss of your statutory protections. We ensure notices are served at the right time so your build timeline is not delayed.
If an adjoining owner in Hillingdon does not respond within 14 days, the Act deems them to have dissented. This triggers the surveyor appointment process — you appoint a surveyor, they can appoint their own (at your cost) or you can agree on a single 'agreed surveyor'. We manage this process and keep it moving.
