What to do when builders continuously flout legislation and are still working at 10pm at night??

I could call Environmental Health but they want to come round within an hour and I need to go to bed..is it a waste of police time?


I would go out and ask them to stop but as this makes no difference (tried in the past)


:(


Advice?

Not a good position to be in QZ - but there is a difference between people flouting legislation (which everyone does at some point in some manner) and causing trouble - noisy neigbours are no fun


If it's short term I think you will just have to make do for the night


If it is potentially longer-term then I would agree with ruffers - start a log of activity. You mention "in the past" - is this an ongoing thing, something that happens regularly, or just once in a blue moon?

Environmental Health are about as helpful as tits on a tortoise in my opinion. I had noisy neighbours partying until 4am, and EH took more than an hour to get to East Dulwich (they're based near London Bridge it seems) and then phoned me again to ask for directions, as they were lost. When they finally arrived 1.5 hrs later the noise had died down and they said they could find no justification for our noise complaint.

    • There are two causes for this problem Β  The first is that modern safety requirements for cars (to protect pedestrians and cyclists in collisions) mean huge amounts of excess spacing in crumple zones to provide a cushion on impact. For example, in the past a lot of pedestrians suffered catastrophic head injuries when they ran in front of a car, because the bonnet was close to the engine block, so their heads bent the bonnet into the solid immovable engine and their heads cam off worse. To mitigate that there is now a huge amount of flex and space so that the head is cushioned from the engine. Naturally, the rest of the body work and car frame has had to increase to accommodate this safety measure. Β  The second issue is electrification. Β  Electric cars are massive because they have to carry huge batteries around to make them work. Massive amounts of space and height is given over to batteries in electric cars. The new electric Renault 5 (described as a "compact" hatch back) is nearly 4 metres long 2 metres wide.Β  Β  That makes it longer and wider than the original Range Rover.Β 
    • Pretentious status vehicles.Β  Last year I was trying to drive down my own street but, being in a little, inferior car, was expected to make way for a stream of SUVs / Chelsea tractors as they barged along beside me. After what felt like an age, I saw a window of opportunity, but was beaten to it by yet another tank. By this stage I was irate (I hate the things) and having a full on shouting match with myself behind the wheel.Β  A Tesla in the oncoming queue pulled in, flashed and courteously allowed me to take my moment. The Tesla's windows were tinted, but not so much that I wasn't able to make out the driver, as I passed him. I'd recognise that mega-watt smile anywhere. It was Peter Crouch, laughing and giving me the thumbs up, clearly entertained by my tantrum.Β 
    • I recently had a utility room built, next to the kitchen. Dean Richards and his team carried out the works, they did a fantastic job. Thorough, with attention to every detail.Β  If you are considering an extension, refurbishment or renovation, Dean comes highly recommended.Β  Dean RichardsΒ  07888 651798 Β
