Building and demolition can be very noisy, but at times the work is often necessary and for a limited time only.

If you wish to complain about noise from building and demolition sites, please let us know the following:

• Does noisy work start on site before 8am or continue after 5pm?
  (Saturday work should only be 9am to 1pm and not at all on Sundays and Bank Holidays)
• How long has the work been going on for?
• What activities are causing the noise?
• Who are the developers / which businesses are causing the noise?

We ask these questions to help us determine whether the developers of the site are using something we call Best Practical Means (BPM), this means the method they are using for that particular task is the best available for the location of the site. If this is the case then there is very little we can do to resolve your complaint as the developers do not have other less noisy options available. If however the developer could use an alternative method then we can help.

Please contact EPU for more help and advice.
