what time is it ok for builders to start?

[11112222]

Not sure if I'm bu or not.

We live in an attached house and our neighbours are doing a huge extension. Our problem is that my dh doesn't get home from work until gone midnight and he is struggling with the morning noise. Even earplugs cannot block the noise out!

I'm not sure if different local authorities have different restrictions on noise but where I am it's 8am.

8 am but the tossers round here pay no heed to that!

Standard seems to be 8 until about 4 pm.

I would say 8am

My Dh usually starts work at 8. They will work until 5/6 mon-sat.

Finishing by 4? That seems rather early!

My dh works from 7.30-5pm

8am

ok, so 7:50 is not much to complain about then.

They can def stop blocking our driveway though!!

The 8 am thinking is national environmental health regs. Why on earth are builders hired to start at 7 30 is it purposely to piss neighbours off? I mean if contracted to start at 7.30 they will get there generally before and have a chat (at the top of their voices) may as well start even earlier and just generally be unreasonably annoying.

We're having work done at the moment. Have asked builders to keep it to 08.30 - 5.30, and asked that if possible quieter stuff (painting etc) gets done between 08.30 and 9am.

It's 8am. They should not be making tons of noise though! Can you mention it to your neighbours?

Parking thread to come cant wait!!! 8am op but kinda ok ish from 7.30am

Our bins get emptied at 7am and thats noisy!!!!!

DP is a builder/plasterer and they start at 8am.

When they were building houses next to us they were allowed to start at 07.00 during the week and had to be off site by 18.00. That didn't seem to stop delivery lorries turning up at 6.20am and reversing (with bleepers going) under our bedroom window . Those were the hours permitted under their Planning permission.

Bins here get emptied at 6am every monday count your lucky stars :(

Thanks everyone. I just wanted opinions before I speak with them. Sadly my other neighbours are about to start work too. It's going to be a nightmare summer this year. :(

Here it's 8-5 weekdays and shorter hours on Saturdays

8 o clock seems pretty standard.

I always thought 8 but I live in a ne builfabdbrge sute opens at 7.

Well that was great 'I live in a new build estate and site opens at 7'

Next door is having a new roof. The roofers arrived yesterday at 7am and worked through until 7:30pm. The scaffolding overhangs my property and at the front is actually on my garden. They knocked on my door to recommend that as the new roof wouldn't match mine they could carry on and do mine too - thanks but we don't have ££££ spare to replace our perfectly adequate roof . 8:50 ... I think they're having a lie in today

7.30 is the time the developers on our site are apparently supposed to start. They do start before then though.
