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.

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
