Construction noise

Construction and contractor noise

Construction noise is unavoidable. All builders and contractors should show consideration to their neighbours.

For work that involves noise or vibration, construction and demolition:

This should happen during the hours of:

  • Mon-Fri: 8am-6pm
  • Sat: 8am-2pm
  • Sun or bank holiday: No working

These times may not always apply, particularly work on railway lines:

  • where there is a public transport service
  • for health and safety reasons
  • in case of emergency

If a construction site is not following the times listed, we can serve a Pollution Notice.
