What should I do? About 7 years ago, I had to report them to my council who came round and they gave them a warning and told them, "Come on you have lovely neighbours. Respect them". They obeyed, 7 years later, today (Sunday) they're drilling all the render. The council doesn't open until 6pm tonight. What should I do? Seven years ago they even wrote a letter to us to apologise detailing the times of the week when they realised we when work should be done, but they're at it again!

Works by builders or contractors should only be carried out from 8am to 6pm (Monday to Friday) and 8am to 1pm (Saturdays), not on Sundays or bank holidays. If construction work is carried out outside of these hours you can report it as nuisance noise to your council.Despite the sarcastic replies, Treacle has a point.

Did they actually do any work or were they waiting for you to answer the door?

Which council do you come under?

You don't know why they were there because you wouldn't speak to them. You perhaps ought to consider whether or not you're a good neighbiur, Treacle.

In our original question you asked us what you should do.
The general consensus is that you should have answered the door and listened to what they had to say. They tried their hardest to talk to you about it but you were not prepared to listen.
There's nothing to be gained by reporting them to the council after the event other than to create bad relations with your neighbour.

Wouldn't you have said they they were being GOOD neighbours by knocking this morning to speak to you??

More fantastic stuff from the universe.

What I don't get is the point of these inventions.

I think you should live and let live. If it's only every 7 years you're disturbed you're very lucky, it's hardly regularly.

I am late to the conversation but because you refuse to open the door and therefore did not get an explanation, you are unfortunately the neighbour in the wrong.

it could be that the builder was only available that day or that there was a mistake.

You sound like an absolute nightmare to live next door to.
