Has anyone else been kept awake at night by noise from the Thames Water project on the Aquarius golf course (Colyton end)? During the day the noise is bearable but at night time the constant beeping of the crane and the crashing of the skips is like torture. It's been lovely to be free of the planes for several nights and now this has taken over!

I've been meaning to say something about this. Strictly I am a Nunhead resident (on the other side backing onto the golf course) but when the wind is in the right direction the beeping is almost unbearable. It's like Chinese water torture. Surely they shouldn't be working that late?

Ring up the Southwark Noise team. They are quite effective. When I lived in Bermondsey I reported the unacceptable noise during the night from the Hansard printing press and they took measures to have them supress the noise.

The southwark noise team are brilliant!


I complained about a car alarm that had been going off for over 24 hours and they were on my doorstep within 20 minutes - and they sorted the problem - wish I'd called them sooner

Have spoken to Thames Water who said that this particular phase of the project has now finished. They will still be working 24 hours a day but hope that the overnight noise will not be so bad in the future.If that is not the case I will contact Southwark Council but it's a tricky one. The work has got to be done and as it is it's due to go on until 2010. If they don't work at night it could take twice as long and I'm sure none of the local people want that. Once the summer comes and people are sleeping with their windows open it could become very difficult.

Whenever I've called them they've nearly always taken hours to turn up, by which time the noise is over.


But maybe they've improved. This was a year or so back when we had terrible trouble with a neighbour across the road who you could hear shouting and playing music even with all the doors and windows closed and our own music on !!!


They also only ever seemed to send out a subsequent letter after the few times they arrived in reasonable time, which I assume was because someone uses these letters for monitoring their success rate, so they can say they arrive within x minutes 95% of the time, or whatever, and it looks really good in the annual reports.


And when I actually had to hammer on this guy's door at 4 in the morning on Christmas Eve (and he couldn't hear me because he was making so much noise), the Southwark Noise people weren't on duty. Fair enough, I wouldn't want to work on Christmas Eve, but it was a bit ******* annoying as I could hear him even from a bedroom at the back (where I had been forced to retreat earlier in the year as he made so much noise it stopped me sleeping at the front).

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
