I'm with you Claire - that kind of noise when you're not used to it is soooooo annoying isn't it!! We live in a village too, right on the edge of it so it's very quiet - right up until a couple of months ago when they started building new houses opposite us!!!

They start at 7. Why don't they just start work later???!!!! I though the builders next door to me were bad at 8. I really feel for the poor people living in the houses.

If they ask for a deposit to pay for materials, offer to buy them yourself instead of paying a deposit - that way, at least you own the materials if something goes wrong.

If the work will take a long time, you may not be able to avoid a deposit. You may be able to cancel the contract if you change your mind within 14 days of giving the go-ahead or signing a written contract. If you agreed the work could start within those 14 days you may have to pay for some or all of it. Find out what you can do about problems with building work, decorating and home repairs.
