What you can do first
Speak to the person or company responsible.
Often, the quickest way to resolve a noise issue is to speak directly to the contractor or individual carrying out the work. They may not realise the impact it is having.
When you speak to them, explain:
- what the noise is
- when it happens
- how it affects you
If you do not feel comfortable speaking to them you can write a polite letter or email. Keep your message respectful and constructive.
Keep a noise diary
Record:
- dates and times of the construction noise
- how long it lasts
- how it affects you
This will help us if we need to investigate.
