Party Wall Insulation


Insulation is sometimes installed close to a party wall, for reasons of soundproofing, particularly having regard to the use of the room concerned, and the use of the room next door.

It is sensible to have a specialist consider the source of the noise, and how it is being transferred, before any soundproofing works are carried out. Noise can come ‘through’ a wall, roof or floor structure, with the structure itself assisting in the transfer of noise.

Noise or sound can also be airborne, like music from a speaker being heard across a room.

In some cases, in order to be effective, party wall insulation isn’t fixed into the party wall. It is placed adjacent to the wall, and a structure built to obscure it.

It is not therefore always the case that the provision of party wall installation is ‘notifiable’ under the Act, this will depend on the design of the proposed works.

If, in installing the installation, the party wall needs to be cut into, or repaired, then a Notice will need to be served, and the Adjoining Owner(s) given the opportunity to respond to the Notice.

A really good experience all round. Kate replied quickly to my questions. The service was prompt and professional and good value compared to other quotes I received. Thanks!
I commissioned Harding for a retrospective Red Book valuation on a London flat. The process was straightforward: Kashmir Gola delivered a thorough report inside the quoted timeframe, with well-chosen comparable properties including two flats in the same building. Kate Sonnet handled the coordination side promptly.
Highly recommended. Lovely friendly service, and a high quality professional report was delivered.
I had a survey carried out by Alaa Ali on my commercial premises. I must say that in the 30 years of dealing with surveyors I have never had such a responsive , helpful and knowledgeable surveyor. I am in the property industry and have dealt with numerous surveyors over the years, in most cases you are provided with a report and nothing else. Alaa Ali from Hardings has gone over and above in supporting us in making the correct decision with our structural issues. I highly recommend this company. They are streets ahead of anyone else . I would never look anywhere else if I needed their services in the future.
Jessica Togood was excellent. A friendly and efficient service.

Really lovely customer service, quick and efficient
Thanks so much to all the team at Harding! They were extremely helpful in arranging the survey for us at very short notice. Scott did the survey on the day and he was incredibly thorough - it's given us great peace of mind for our house move. The report he gave was detailed, well laid out with excellent photographs of every aspect of the house and surrounds. He also took the time to call and walk me through his preliminary findings, which I really appreciated. Thanks again!
Guy was helpful in explaining the survey and findings over the phone.
A very efficient and professional. Communication was excellent and the whole process from booking to the report was around 3 weeks. Good value for money. I would recommend without hesitation.
Harding Chartered Surveyors were really quick and helpful throughout this process. Our Level 2 survey was completed quickly and we received an extremely detailed report the next day. Would absolutely recommend using their services!
