Builders noise.

I'm not sure mate, but definately eastern European.
I've got nothing against building works going on next door, and I really don't care about the nationalities of the blokes carrying out said works, but I wouldn't mind being able to have a little lay-in on a saturday after a hard weeks graft.

At least you're only having to deal with it for one or two days. Try living near building works for "luxury" flats (Glasgow Harbour) where it's almost constant every morning, along with other flats getting renovated nearby. 
If it's really a problem phone local immigration office?

Not quite, although a lot of people seem to think that.
It is certainly out of order to start such noisy work at 8am on a weekend IMO.. so I sympathise. I wouldn't bother with the immigration authorities, people from eastern europe are welcomed here with open arms now
The noise laws don't give people carte blanche to make whatever noise they want, for as long as they want, within those hours though. Noise can be against the law at ANY time of the day, depending on its nature and duration.

I don't think it is, 8 am on any day of the week apart from Sunday is acceptable as far as I am concerned. People need to work and sometimes this means working weekends and late nights. Rather than people feeling sorry for themselves because of the noise why not feel sorry for the poor buggers who are having to work rather than have a lie in.

Might be right about the weekends, but we where we told 8am-11pm by our local council when we had complaints my next door who was on nights.
Trying telling a builder to be quiet when he’s taking a wall down. (Made even more noise just to annoy the neighbours because he got a mouth full)

No, I never feel sorry for anyone who impinges on my quality of life, without exception. I hardly think it's asking a lot to be able to sleep in past 8 o'clock on a Saturday - a lot of people will have been out on a Friday night and might not have gone to bed till 3am or whatever. And then there's people who work nights and might have just finished their shift at 6am.
Oh well, whatever.. I am always in a minority it seems by expecting people to behave reasonably and considerately.

Hell you think thats bad, for 6 weeks i had to put up with constant banging, drilling from next door and it was on my wall....seriously i didnt appreciate the early wake up call tbh. But our neighbours from next door are a decent bunch so we didnt make too much of a fuss, he did come round and apologise for all the noise.

I work in the building trade too, but not in domestic residences, that's why I don't know how the regs work in these situations.
