I was kept awake all night by this too. It was the shop Iris at number 3 having some work done overnight (installing new fitting rooms it looks like). Went in to speak to them this morning and they said it will be finished today so there shouldn't be any noise tonight. To be honest I am appalled by the fact that this work was undertaken overnight and the complete disregard for their neighbours.

Thanks for reply. It was almost like torture as every time it stopped I went back to sleep and then was wojen up again. I thought it was emergency gas/ water works.

Im a nit speechless now, which is probably better than writng whats actually in my very tired angry head.

Thanks again for the reply ...

You can ask the shop management/the workmen/council noise team whether they had a dispensation (Section 61 consent) to undertake construction outside normal hours and then take action if necessary (ie complaint etc.). See https://www.southwark.gov.uk/noise-and-antisocial-behaviour/construction-noise
Emsworth, I feel your pain and would go and knock again to the property to let the workers know this is not acceptable! I put up with weeks of banging and drilling all through the night and day last Christmas Eve, Boxing Day at my next door place. |I had a word with the workers but they had very limited English and had to phone a boss person to translate what I was saying!

I have been round and they just told me to speak to the owner in the morning. The council noise team have also been out and given them until 10pm to wrap things up as apparently it wouldn?t be safe for customers in its present state. They said If it continues past 10 they will serve them a notice. Beyond fed up of them now!!

I must have just gone round after you - they said the same to us, that they'd be stopped in like 20 minutes (so I guess 10pm). They don't even open until 10am so don't understand why it all needs to be done so late at night. Didn't look like they were finished last night either, so assume there'll be more to come.

make a complaint to southwark and threaten to escalate to the local authority ombudsman, they pulled me in for an interview under caution when my builders went over by 10mins to 18:10 - disgraceful


if the site was unsafe, they shouldn't have started work in the first place

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
