"Your laziness has caused me five days of graft and a few hundred quid of costs, please keep your plants under control in future?"
That seems pretty reasonable TBH

I'd be having that conversation first, before spending five days on it. Our downstairs neighbour's ivy was all up our house, stopping us fitting new windows. After a bit of back and forth he agreed to pay for the scaf tower and builder's time to remove it. It's since been cut at the root.

I speak to my neighbours but as an Australian, my level of mad is certainly non-zero.
If you're going to do the work anyway, you could suggest "the first one's free, but in future, if you could keep this stuff under control, it'd be better for both of us"
Really, before you started the work you should've asked them to prune their stuff. Because if you do it and then just dump it on them, you look like a bit of a prick even if that's not actually the case.

In London? Are you mad?
Also, what do I say - "Your laziness has caused me five days of graft and a few hundred quid of costs, please keep your plants under control in future?"
