AIBU for being annoyed my neighbors are doing building work at 7am on a Saturday.

[mollysmammy]

I get on with all of my neighbors, these particular ones live 8 doors down (I don't know them - I'm not even sure there is anyone in the property at present). I have no issue during the week, as I get up at 5am anyway. The thing is the scaffolding truck parks directly outside my house, on the pavement. Today was a Saturday, they started at 7am, not only was there the noise of scaffolding being lifted, but the profanities. I have a single glazed property and as it was my day off, I would have liked to have had a lie in till 8am at least. I had been to a concert (at the church!) so was pretty tired. My Daughter could sleep through nuclear warfare, but I ended up getting up, I'm super tired as I write this. I would say I'm a considerate neighbor - I won't even vacuum after 7pm or before 9am as I don't want to upset anyone. I'm thinking about having a word about the work being done on weekends and also the fact they are parking directly under my window, my Daughter heard all the words they were saying...

Did you go outside and ask them to keep the language polite and the noise down?

I think it depends on the area. When I had building work done ages ago, the builder said he could only do noisy works between 8am and 1pm on a Saturday. 8am until 6pm during the week and no works on a Sunday or public holiday. I think it was enforced by environmental health. He showed me all the documents but I've forgotten the ins and outs.
I'd phone local council and see if they can tell you the allowed working hours in your area. Then have a word with the neighbour. Maybe see if it's bothering other neighbours too so you're not the only one.

Check your local council's planning website too - sometimes the planning permission doc will state the hours that they're allowed to work
