Text for loft conversion party wall notice

[JP_]

I am using http://www.mypropertyguide.co.uk/partywall/notice/complete to create a party wall act letter.

For the work, I have written:

"To carefully remove part of blockwork on party wall to install padstone / engineering bricks to support structural steel beam for loft conversion."

Does this cover it, or is there more I should include?

I think that between is there is just one block wall. Will the steel beam need the whole width of a block, or just half? They have talked about a loft conversion of their own, so if it is not half (as standard) it could be tricky.

I will be asking my architect and builder for advice, but thought I'd get the ball rolling.

Have you spoken with the neighbours about the loft yet?

It has been mentioned, not for a couple of months though. Is that relevant?

I did speak to the builder again today though, and he said that there is a good chance we won't need a steel in the party wall, but the engineer chap needs to confirm.
