Woken at 8 am this morning by banging and clattering in front of the house.

Oh joy - next door (we are both detached) are having scaffolding going up.

It's a noisy job at best but they've been at it now for 3 hours. The radio is on full blast and they are singing along tunelessly at the top of their voices. If they are not singing they are shouting and swearing using language that would make a sailor blush.

It's the first sunny warm Sunday we've had this year but I have all the doors and windows shut and I can still hear every word.

Really fed up. There's no point complaining so I have to lump it but I am full of hatred for them at the moment.

Yeah 8am on a Sunday is really unreasonable. I'd be pissed off too. At the very least, your neighbours should have forewarned you

It was rude of your neighbours not to let you know. In my opinion it's just common courtesy to inform those right next to you that you'll be having work done. You absolutely can ask them to turn the music down. As a PP said, I am not sure they're even allowed to do noisy work on Sundays as a business as opposed to the homeowner.

Are they allowed to start that early on a Sunday

Scaffolder's are in a separate league when it comes to noise. I recommend earplugs.
