Kate Eyre Garden Design

[EDres1234]

Had a rather unfortunate episode with Kate Eyre Garden Design and Kate Eyre herself which brings into question the professionalism and integrity of this company. Their gardeners were working this Saturday at the front of a property in Rodwell Road. At almost 2pm they were still working, using an angle grinder and hammering. Builders in Southwark are not supposed to carry out noisy work after 1pm on a Saturday.

Phoned Kate Eyre to alert her that her builders were still working and disturbing the residents. She didn't seem to be aware that noisy work in Southwark was not allowed after 1pm, stating that "it was my understanding that builders could work until the end of the day on Saturday". She then promised to call the builders to tell them to stop noisy work, but 2 hours later her builders were still angle grinding and hammering.

It is worrying that a local company appears to be unaware of local regulations and also calls into question Kate Eyre's personal integrity and that of her company. This is not what we would have expected from a professional company.

Hope this may be helpful to anyone planning to have any professional gardening work done.

Sounds strange to me that you would come onto the ED forum and trash a company and discuss "personal integrity". It was a noise and the builders stopped. I am really surprised you should say this when I have used this company and could not be more conscious of the local community.

Sounds fishy to me!

No, not helpful. If your question was meant to be 'thoughtful'. I have no connection with this company, but don't we all get noise from our neighbours?

Must look up all you posts.....

Didn't post to trash the company but to relate an unfortunate experience. Don't make a habit of this but felt strongly enough to do so.

Speedbird, Noise from neighbors is different from contractor noise, which is regulated by the laws of this country. Didn't say the builders stopped of their own accord...they finally stopped when Southwark Council came round and told them to.

Pps, Quite clearly you lack the vocabulary to state your opinion without being abusive. Suggest you possibly get a life yourself and possibly English GCSE. Once you've done that, suggest you check the Southwark Council website which I have pasted here for you in case you have any difficulties. http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/412/noise_problems/379/construction_noise

As per above pps, Southwark website is not out of date. If you have any questions about policy please feel free to contact Southwark Council on 0207 525 5777.
