Neighbours tumble dryer on 10+hrs/day

Smell of cannabis and a child would be enough for me tbh. The sound must be exhausting and you are not making a fuss at all!

I'm assuming the neighbour has said tumble drier as an excuse.
It could be noisy heatlamps? Not commercially growing cannabis myself I don't know exactly what's involved but from what the op has said I'd be suspicious.

I also suspect a spot of indoor gardening. I don't think they are growing marigolds.

what inconsiderate people!!! You must compain to your local council, especially as it is now making you feel unwell. I would be feeling exactly the same, they obviously are very selfish as they havent tried to resolve it when you approached them. I have a friend who has four children, and even she doesn't have the dryer on all day!!!! they must be earning money from whatever it is they are drying, as i can imagine their electric bill must be enormous!!!! Good luck !!

Everyone saying that its a weed farm; what has a tumble dryer got to do with a weed farm? You don’t dry weed in a tumble dryer, surely? It would get smashed to pieces in there.

Or if it’s not a tumble dryer what is it? Lots of posters implying they know what it is but no one has said?

If there is a stink of canabis and you are not 100% if this is a dryer id say its highly likely. Report her for noise and smell.

A weed farm was discovered opposite us a while back. The neigbouring house went up in flames, and as its old victorian terraces there are access routes through the loft.

Fire crew stormed the houses either side to get in (also hosing from in front) nd lo and behold; one attic was a full on weed farm.

Ring 101 OP and ask their advice?

Crikey I hate to think what their electricity bill must be like. When I had a tumble dryer,about 12 years ago,it was the single most expensive item for using electricity in my house. Which was one of the reasons that I didn't bother getting a new one when it packed up. One wash load of 6 bath towels would take about 2 hours and use approx. a pounds worth of electricity. I now use a heated clothes airer in the winter,that costs about 12 pence for 12 hours.

If I was putting a bet on this I would say they were growing weed.LOL.

If they aren't cleaning it properly it's a fire hazard so get someone to check it . I don't understand the link between dryer noise and weed farms . I read through but must have missed it , can someone explain ?

@tararabumdeay ??

I have a washer dryer and that takes four hours to do a load from start to finish. Could it be one of them and it's not correctly stabilized? They are bloody noisy if they are not on an even floor.

I used to live in the country. The neighbour's sheep and cattle kept us awake after moving from London where traffic and blues and twos were completely normal all day and night.

My new neighbour is a slack jaw baby dad who doesn't drive and doesn't work but he shagged a young woman and got the house to allow him contact with his child.

I feel so sorry for his new partner. She's the driver, the one who's family are helping.

I hate men.

The one I fell in love with was and is just a stupid scounger. I have to live with that for ever.

If they are taking in other people’s washing that could constitute running a business from home which is usually not allowed in most tenancy agreements.

That’s not what anyone could call reasonable noise. You are fully within your rights to take this further. Have you tried the environmental health?

Condenser dryers can take ages/a few goes if the filter is full of shit.

Dh empties ours every month because otherwise it seems to stop drying
The washing so
Well and take longer

Mate, it's not a bloody tumble dryer how naive are you?

I have a couple next to me both in their 60s and they have the washing machine on every day but usually just one load. Mostly I just hear it on the spin. I don't see how 2 people that age who wear uniforms for work get so much washing to do, apart from the noise it is not my business

Perhaps she does laundry for other people as a business?
I can't understand how 3 people could produce that much washing.
Definitely contact EH, if only for advice.

If they have a disabled child pip would help plus one might work from home, some utility providers also offer help for low income disabled families same as water companies will lock in a special price for certain medical conditions or low income houses with 3+ children.

Sounds strange. How can they afford to run appliances that excessively if neither of them are working? Have you actually seen their child?

A house not far away burned down last year and it turned out it was a weed farm. According to people who lived close to it, you would never have suspected the owners.

Alternatively they could be making some money on the side from taking in washing and ironing?

The tumble drier of your neighbour is making you ill? Do get a life dear
Yeah really helpful, thanks for that

I understand how ill it can get you.
Its the constant same sound over and over again. No matter what background noise you have going it seems to be heard over everything else. Your mind cant help but focus on it.
My parents were ready to sell up if the council didnt do anything
