All day yesterday 10 to 6ish and So far today from 9am next door have been using pneumatic drills and other extremely noisy tools.

The vibrations from it have caused a picture to fall off the wall in an upstairs room.

I can barley hear myself think and my 20month old didn't sleep a wink all day yesterday which isn't good.

Is there anything I can do? Is he entitled to do this during the weekend all day, the only time I actually have at home

He is perfectly entitled to do at the weekend.

Possibly is, but is his work allowed interfere with stuff hanging on my wall?

People need to do work on their homes.. suck it up. It isn't like it is every day of the week for months.

Crasp · 23-11-2014 02:42PM

there are no noise laws regarding this type of thing, he can do what he wants in his own home, depending on if he owns it or is renting. it's commendable of him that he is doing it from 10am-6pm amd not the other way around.

some people find the sound of children highly annoying, if I may play devil's advocate.

9am on a sunday morning is pig ignorant

jam_mac_jam · 23-11-2014 02:45PM

It's during the day so no you have no real right to complain

It really is. People are entitled to a bit of piece on one morning of the week. It wouldn't kill him to start the work at 11. He has all day.

If you're comparing the sound of children to a pneumatic drill you're more braindead than I thought.

Give me the sound of a pneumatic drill once in a blue moon over the next door neighbours kids running up and down the stars and along the landing....over....and...over....again, day...after.....day, week...after.....week........

Your an honorable citizen, and a credit to your parents.

I commend you sir.

Paco Rodriguez · 23-11-2014 02:52PM

I think it's selfish to move I to a terraced or semi attached house and expect perfect silence. Unless they're running a business at home they are entitled to work at the legal times.

9 am on a Sunday is fine. Why should people work around someone else's hangover?

My brat has nothing to do with it really. She's sleeping through it at the moment.

I'm standing on my tiled floor in the kitchen and can feel the vibrations from next door, if that can give some sort of perspective to the kind of work that has been going on since 9am.

Could I sit in my underwear blaring Slipknot or similar all day saturday and all day sunday just because I am in the confines of my home? Whats the difference?

Maybe you shouldn't have bought/rented a piss poor house with cardboard walls.

Earl Turner · 23-11-2014 02:57PM

You will have to talk to him and reach a compromise.

"Brat" in relation to the baby of someone they don't know - nice.

But in fairness, blaring music isn't comparable to doing construction work (which could be necessary) but I do think you've cause to ask him to start the work later in the morning.

Eh it's my baby and someone refereed to her as a brat. I was responding

Noise is noise. Doesn't matter if its someone shagging their wife all day, using a pneumatic drill or blaring music. That's my point really.

Why is ok to use a pneumatic drill all day which causes a certain noise level but it's not ok to blare music at the same decibel level as the pneumatic drill??

3 storey Victorian with 2ft thick walls actually. Our neighbour was a saint when my house underwent massive renovation in 2010. The result is that for the last 5 years and going forwards she now has neighbours that will bend over backwards for her.

Or maybe you just need to get a grip and cop on. Unless he runs a DIY YouTube channel and will constantly be building stuff, ripping it down and starting over for his video tutorials, then I don't understand what your problem is. Bet your the type that would have the cheek to tell him to fcuk off if he complained the next time you carry out home improvements. :rolleyes:

JONJO THE MISER · 23-11-2014 03:04PM

Just shows the quality of construction in recent times, i have lived in apartments and semis but never again, detached house in the country for me.

Schwiiing · 23-11-2014 03:07PM

My brother moved into 1 of those semi detached hellholes that were glued together during the boom. We were putting down wood floors and the dust from the saw made me sneeze.The walls were so thin the next thing I heard was a 'Bless You' through the wall from the woman next door. :rolleyes:

That person was whom I was referring to - sorry, should have been clearer!

Noise is noise. Doesn't matter if its someone shagging their wife all day, using a pneumatic drill or blaring music. That's my point really.

But construction work can actually be necessary, and is regrettably and unavoidably noisy. It is a means to an end, it has purpose. Blaring music is unnecessary with no purpose to it. Extremely noisy sex - well it's necessary, but not all day every day.

Ask him to give you a break from it every so often.

I'd say there's been over 30 days thus far of various construction work.

He was there a few nights until 11pm, during the week. Sounded like he was removing a tank or piping. Everytime he banged I could hear the noise reverberating throughout the pipes throughout his house.

I have no problem with people carrying out construction work. But I believe this lad is taking the piss. He doesn't live there. He bought the house and comes round to work on it, usually in the evenings and weekends.

I believe I've been propositioned by an exhausted and frazzled father of a very young baby, living in a noise tunnel.
Score!

He is taking the pee. Have a word with him, but be nice. He might not be aware of how much vibration is passing through to your house. Maybe approach it in a "look, I know you have to get work done but I figured you probably aren't aware of how loud it is on our side. We basically haven't had a break for a long time now, it's evenings and weekends so could we reach some sort of compromise on hours?" way.

If he's a knob about it... War...

have you considered applying to the CoCo for to be re-housed elsewhere?

kingchess · 23-11-2014 09:13PM

Maybe walk next door with a broken picture/cup and say the vibrations is causing damage to your house and,If he is dismissive about it, say that you are thinking about getting an Engineer to check if there is any structural damage being done to your house.
