Builders working in neighbouring house on a Sunday

Started house sit that will last 10 days long. Unfortunately work men next door. Been pretty noisy. Disappointed to see they have arrived this morning, started work. I thought work is allowed in England on a Sunday as long as no noise. Hammering away!

Do not want to complain to homeowners not their fault. Maybe workers think they can do what they like because owners away.

You are correct. You could have a word with neighbour and then local council if nothing changes.

Thank you. If I was in my own home, would be knocking on door. House sit is an end terrace.

Have you asked the workers how long the work will last? It is pretty annoying, but as you rightly recognize, HO can’t control the entire neighborhood.

Hopefully it’s a short project!

Sorry to hear about the noise @Scotslassie - have you thought about @Felinelover 's suggestion of asking the workers how long they’ll be around?

I really hope the noise hasn’t continued. We’re here if you need to vent about it!

Thank you.

Re how long work will last. I have had 2 major renovations myself. Not easy, but I would never allow them to work late into night or a Sunday. Builder was here last Thursday, Friday. Off Saturday and today. Fingers crossed, just may have finished.

I hope so, and hoping you have a quiet remainder of your sit!
