Neighbours removing shared fence

So today I was sunbathing in my garden when without any warning, our neighbour popped up on a ladder over the fence and started to lift it up. It’s one of those fences that’s slid between concrete posts so you can lift it on/ out for maintenance or replacement. A few moments later the whole side of the garden was lifted and him and his wife were stood there waving and smiling!! They said they were just repainting and preferred to lie it flat to do so. I felt very exposed all of a sudden!! Our house has bifolds on the back which were open with the kids wandering in and out so he could suddenly see into the house too. Washing/ toys out in all their glory. They were dry chatty and I was just aghast! He craned his neck right round and started pointing out things in the kitchen too being complimentary but it felt invasive?! We went out for a walk and they have replaced the panels now so no harm done but AIBu expecting a knock on the door before they do this? I would just prefer a teeny bit of notice and we would quite happily go out for a walk or at least make sure I’m not out in my sunbathing finery at the time!!! Would you say anything?

It’s definitely our fence. We have absolutely no issue whatsoever with them painting it I just felt suddenly invaded when they both appeared! We could happily just leave them to it if we’d known the plan.
