DIY and renovation noise
Bothered by DIY noise from the neighbours?
DIY around the house is part of life, but it can be a real problem when the noise keeps coming back, goes on for a long time or happens at awkward times. Think of drilling, sawing, hammering, sanding or other loud impact noise that carries through walls, floors or ceilings.
Especially when it’s unexpected or comes just when you need peace and quiet, it can cause irritation, tension or stress. It can be hard during the day too, for example if you work from home, are recovering from illness or need rest for health reasons.
A calm approach helps you raise it and reduces the risk of things escalating.
✔ For every step: a first message, a reminder and a final message
✔ Includes background information, the legal position and an incident diary
