You only hear about it afterwards
The neighbour spoke to the builder about the radio, the builder forgot to mention it, and you find out when you are asked about it over the fence.
For homeowners having work done
You will live next to these people long after the scaffold comes down. Noisy Neighbour gives your house a page the street can read: what is happening each week, and a direct way to raise a problem that reaches the builder and you at the same time.
Concrete pour on Thursday morning. The pump will be on the road from 8am and it will be noisy until about 1pm.
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?
The neighbour spoke to the builder about the radio, the builder forgot to mention it, and you find out when you are asked about it over the fence.
Without a better route, the only way to complain about your builder is to complain to you. Every problem on the site becomes a conversation on your doorstep.
Awards commonly require you to give notice of noisy works and to keep access routes clear. A page with dated notices is the record you will want if that is ever questioned.
How it works
Nothing for neighbours to install. The QR code opens a web page, and everything happens on that page.
01
Enter your address and the working hours agreed with your builder. The page shows the street who is doing the work and when.
02
Send the join link to your builder's team. They post the notices and answer the issues, and you see all of it without having to ask.
03
Fix the printed sheet to the hoarding, the front wall or the skip. Neighbours scan it to read the page and to leave an email for notices.

A page for your house, with a printable QR sheet
Your builder's team on the page, answering issues directly

Per site
£5 / site / week
You buy weeks in advance and each week covers one site. 10 weeks for £45 (save 10%), 20 weeks for £75 (save 25%). No contract, and unused weeks keep.
Everything is free for your first 7 days. No card needed to start.
Set up your house pageQuestions
You set the page up yourself and invite the builder to it. Most builders prefer a page to a stream of calls; if yours will not use it, you can still post the notices and read the issues yourself.
£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.
The page shows the address, the working hours and the name of the builder. It does not show your name, your phone number or anything about the inside of the house.
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.
The page is a good place to give the notice of noisy works that many awards require, and the dated record is useful if a surveyor is ever asked to look back at what was done.
