Are there any regulations about noise by workmen?
My neighbours in a terrace are virtually rebuilding the house.
The banging, drilling and Kangol hammering go on every day, all day.
Have I any rights?

Would you be asking if your house needed work?

To e-mail, change noise into sound.

Yes you need to keep a log and borrow a noise meter from your local
environmental health folks.
They can have a word, and I believe there are limits, but often its the
nature of the noise, not the loudness which is the main issue and nobody
seems to have addressed this aspect.

Trend round here seems to be making habitable basements where there once
was only a cellar. Which seems to take about 3 months worth of compressor
and pneumatic drill running all day. It would be possible to make a silent
running compressor, if not the drill.

You have the right to remain silent.

you can't stop the work from going ahead, so don't bother wasting time and
money attempting to.

I would given environmental health a ring. Log the call and who you
were speaking to if need later for any reason.

There are general times when "noisy" work can be carried out, I thought
it was generally taken to be 8am to 7:30pm but that may vary according
to proximity and the types of noise.

Once when you have your facts I would then approach the offending
neighbours and have a "quiet" word. If they argue with your terms then
ask them to make their own enquiries.

Have you tried tapping on the door and discussing the situation?
Always a good way to start as you can then get some idea of the persons
attitude.

I thought Kangol made clothing and the like.

Sometimes the permitted hours are written into the planning
permission, assuming the work requires it.
