What this tool does

This interactive tool creates a professional letter to inform your neighbours about upcoming building work at your property. You provide basic details about the work, timescales and expected disruption, and it generates a courteous notice that maintains good relations with those living nearby.

The letter includes all the key information neighbours need, such as working hours, expected duration and your contact details for any concerns they might have.

When to use it

You should notify neighbours whenever you plan building work that might cause noise, dust, disruption or block access. This includes extensions, loft conversions, major renovations, garden landscaping or any work involving heavy machinery or deliveries.

Giving advance notice shows consideration and often prevents complaints later. Many neighbours appreciate being informed, even for relatively minor work, as it helps them plan around any temporary inconvenience.

How it works

The tool asks you to fill in details about yourself, your address, the type of work planned, start date, expected duration and likely disruption. You can also choose the tone of the letter and add any specific information that might be relevant to your neighbours.

Once you submit these details, the tool generates a complete letter ready for printing or email. Nothing you enter is saved, and you do not need to create an account to use it.
