Hello


Had a problem with some builders next door drilling at 6.53am this morning. Promptly informed them about Southwark's 8am-6pm rule and when they failed to agree to stick to it, I called Southwark anyway.


INTERESTINGLY - the Southwark Council Noise Officer who came to investigate the complaint informed me that the 8am-6pm timing wasn't a legal rule at all but guidance. It only became a legal restriction after the Noise Officers placed the construction work under an 8am-6pm restriction. So until that restriction was in place they could build all night if they liked!


Moral of the story - complain as soon as possible and get the Noise Officers down!


Over and out.

Yes - no construction noise beyond the bounds of your property except between 8am-6pm. If you lived in a detached house and could be sure that the noise/vibration of your drilling does not escape your property, you would appear to be free to do so. However, if you are terraced or detached you may have problems with the sound travelling.

Why would anyone want to start drilling at 6.53am?

Especially when 6.54 is such a better time.... However as the op said, it is guidance not a rule about the 8 till 6 so if you do need to drill after 6 and your neighbours are fine with it the. Go ahead but that also depends on the relationship you have with your neighbours....

I've had builders either side of me for over 2 years and I haven't moaned once.... Moan moan moan moan moan that's all these yuppies do, I was on my phone whilst Parkin my car and guess what a yuppy goes ( heeey get off the phone you bloody bathoon ) I mean talk about stick ur nose in somebody else's business nosey yuppie
As I have been in the building trade and a home owner myself for over 15 years I understand exactly what your complaining about - The LAW is no trade can start noisy work before 8am and they have to finish by 6pm - this is Southwarks rules - http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/412/noise_problems/379/construction_noise - Yet these are not just Southwarks rules these are the rules throughout the UK. I myself as a tradesman am always aware of the clients neighbours - as should all trades. Why when your working for a client would you want to upset their neighbours - I don't understand - they are obviously cowboys who don't care & you need to SHOUT out to you neighbours and explain otherwise I recommend you make as much noise as you wish in the early hours just to f**k you clearly oblivious neighbours off!!!!! LOL.

Talking through your **** old boy, there is no 'law' on it but yes most tradesmen show courtesy by talking **** about Millwall or Chelsea until past eight and of course are gone at 3.30 (traffic between Dulwich and Plumstead)

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
    • The Pie House Co-op Deptford Emergency Crisis - Needs YOUR Help. This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system.

Thank you in advance for your support so far, and your support going forward.
