Should point out he is a contractor employed by our neighbours, rather than a neighbour himself (whom we have not yet met as neither they nor us live out here full-time), so hopefully we can negotiate something!

Thanks for all your replies!

Just what is a suitable time, i'm a builder and it doesn't matter what time you start theres always somebody on holiday and would rather you not be there at anytime, if you start at ten, what time would you expect him to finish, i tend to work 10 hrs a day so would you be happy with him working up to 8 at night, they empty all the bins where i am from at 2 in the morn, start strimming the grass area,s at 6,30 in the morn it's got to be done so let them get on with it, he's not going to be there forever.

Since we don't actually LIVE here ... and are simply here on holiday ... we don't give a monkey's how quick he does the job. And our villa is rented out when we aren't here (we bought it instead of paying into a pension fund in UK after a close call with Equitable Life before you write some stupid quote that we are minted) so our paying guests will also complain!

We understand from the builders/developers of our 'urbanisation' that noisy building work should not start before 10.00am according to local laws ... so it is a bit bl**dy early!

He has been building this wall for five weeks (yes, its a big wall!) so far according to our guests and the people who clean our villa!

Have no sympathy with him at all
