We are currently on holiday and have workers in doing a bathroom renovation for us along with a few other smaller bits of work. The bathroom wall adjoins the wall of next door neighbour. The work is only being carried out during normal hours (9 to 5). Apparently the neighbour has complained to the builder doing the work and wants to know when the work will be concluded. We don't know them well but generally have a good relationship with the neighbour but maybe should have given them a heads up about the work. As long as the workers aren't carrying out work during unsociable hours there's not much they can really say is there??
