She also tried to stop our other neighbours loft, and cost them the same
She's probably a bit bored of living next to building sites, then, after two projects from you and one from her other neighbour.

She might well be, but illustrating her disapproval by costing Chris thousands seems punitive and petty.
I had a frank conversation with our neighbours before my work. I acknowledged it wasn't ideal for them and there would be some noise, but I assured them that when it was done it was done and I had nothing else planned. I think they appreciated me levelling with them together with acknowledging that what I was doing would impact on them.

Yeah... overall...
£1250 x 2 when we had the extension done.
£1500 to move a fence (which was wrong tbf, but had no issues with it for a year, so didn't count this originally)
£1250 x 2 for the loft.
I get it, she's within her rights, but I think being upfront and communicating can save a lot of stress and hassle.
She also tried to stop our other neighbours loft, and cost them the same.
Thing is, she's actually a really lovely person apart from this, who I actually really respect in some ways (reg things she has done in other aspects of life).
