This is happening to me now but I'm the neighbour who is getting a lot of dust from next door getting the back of their house repointed.
They offered to pay to clean up once finished. I told them it's not really a problem as it's only dust and that I'd let them know if it was really becoming an issue.
So yeah I'd say they are being dicks but maybe at least offer to get the affected areas cleaned up.

Our neighbours had the entire surface area of their house ground back and re-pointed a few years ago, the dust was terrible even though the brickies used tarps to seal off the scaff.
It was all gone after the first rainfall, no real bother. Just had to keep windows closed for a few days. Live and let live. I’d say your neighbour is fussing.

I mean it is annoying though isn't it?
When one of our neighbours was having concrete pumped there was loads of waste dirty concrete water that was then walked and driven all over our drive.
I didn't bitch to the neighbour or trades, but I whinged my OH and internally while I rinced off the drive.
Tl;Dr yes you (who are getting a benefit) are unreasonable for getting annoyed. But there's nothing you can do. Your builders are big boys. They'll survive.

Tell them to fucking get over it.

we're getting a window/wall surround removed just now. My neighbour told off my builders because dust was getting on their decking. It's a very windy day and overall it feels like a bit of a moany git move by them - how exactly should we have prevented that?
Am I being unreasonable to be annoyed by them?
