For builders and contractors

Fewer complaints at the gate. A dated record if one is escalated.

Noisy Neighbour gives your site a public web page behind a QR code on the hoarding. Neighbours see what noisy work is coming and report a problem to your team instead of to the council. Every issue and every reply is dated and kept for the life of the job.

  • Everything is free for your first 7 days. No card needed to start.
  • Neighbours join free
  • Set up in about five minutes

Dust from the cutting is blowing over our garden.

We have put dust screens up and moved the saw behind the hoarding. Photos attached.

Sound familiar?

Three things that go wrong without a page

01

Complaints reach you last

A neighbour who cannot find anyone to talk to rings the council. By the time environmental health is on the phone, the problem has a case number.

02

Nobody can prove what was done

The foreman sorted the dust screens on the day. Three weeks later, with a Section 60 warning in hand, nobody can show when, or that the neighbour was told.

03

The client hears it second-hand

The homeowner gets the neighbour's version at the weekend and asks you on Monday. You spend the morning reconstructing a week you were not asked to record.

How it works

Three steps, then it runs itself

Nothing for neighbours to install. The QR code opens a web page, and everything happens on that page.

01

Set up the site page

Enter the address, your working hours and your company name. That is all the page shows the public, with no phone number on the hoarding.

02

Put the QR sheet on the hoarding

Print the sheet from the site page and fix it where people walk past. Anyone who scans it reaches the page, and can leave an email for notices.

03

Post notices and answer issues from your phone

A concrete pour on Thursday, a skip on Monday. When a neighbour reports something, your team replies in the thread, with photos of the fix, and marks it resolved.

Questions

What people ask before they start

Do neighbours need to install anything?

No. The QR code opens an ordinary web page. A neighbour who wants the notices by email leaves an address; everyone else just reads the page.

What does it cost?

£5 per site per week, bought as prepaid weeks, with 10 weeks for £45 (save 10%), 20 weeks for £75 (save 25%). Neighbours never pay and there is no per-neighbour charge. Everything is free for your first 7 days, with no card needed to start.

Who can see the issues?

Your team, the homeowner or client if you invite them, and the neighbour who raised each one. Neighbours do not see each other's issues on an ordinary house site.

Can I use it on one job and not the next?

Yes. Each site page stands alone. Weeks are bought in advance and a week you do not use stays on your account for the next job.

What if a neighbour complains to the council anyway?

You can show the officer the dated record: the notice you posted, the report, when you acknowledged it, what you did and when the neighbour confirmed it. Most officers want to see exactly that.
