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.

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!
I requested a structural survey couple of years ago due to hairline cracks appearing in my walls.
The report was thorough, advising me that neighbouring trees need to be dealt with.
April 2025 I am in the process of getting the repairs done. The surveyor Alaa Ali has been very helpful assisting and advising my builder in the work that needs to be undertaken to rectify the not so hairline cracks in my Edwardian flat.
The process is not cheap, but it provides a peace of mind to the structural state of my property.
Valuation of property for selling purposes, Harding were quick and efficient, and the survey provides peace of mind that a professional surveyor carried out a proper valuation according to the RICS valuation standards. Estate agents are not necessarily qualified, surveyor always are
