Noisy builders on existing properties.

I have had immediate neighbours carrying out building work........... an extension etc, this has been going on since April.


I appreciate that most building noise is unavoidable but loud radios and foul language is not acceptable IMO. Even when chastised, they seem to think that it is a right applicable to builders and continue.? I had to resort to loud dB's on Classic FM on a sound blaster for a few days, to get them to desist from their their music at least. Is this an indication of intelligence or upbringing, Do electricians have the same disregard for others?, would you do it? How is it prevented?

    Probably just have to put up with it. The local Council can intervene, but it has to be regular and persistent.


    My problem is noisy children two doors away. They are, and have been, the only noisy people in the whole block. Fighting a nuisance with another nuisance is not a good solution. I just live for the day when the "For Sale" notice goes up.


     




     

    For Sale is not the answer either, since it is pot luck who your neighbours are. Noise is noise is noise but what is preventable? There's the rub! The environment needs to be controlled by someone, the local authority is in the best position. What is needed is government legislation.
