Why the hell is there someone using a jackhammer at 2am?!

Any railway lines nearby? They like to do work like that in the middle of the night. I remember one great bank holiday weekend where they closed the line for 3 days but only did any work at night, so we had diggers and all sorts of power tools going at 3am.

Definitely. I have the pleasure of living near a siding where they fill the aggregate carts. At 3am.
 
emergency works for gas/water and electricity are permitted

so leaking water main or gas main or a power cut would allow them to work to make safe or restore service
 
Not so long back i heard what sounded like a Petrol Lawnmower at 2:30 ish near to work..it lasted for a good 30 mins..the place is surrounded by houses/flats too. :D
