You didn't mention what country you are in - many countries have regulations about what time noisy work may start and/or finish but it is normally up to the "victim" to register a complaint with the relevant authorities before the they will take action!
@Paulos_the_fog London’s Waltham Forest don’t have a functional noise complaints team. They might send a letter, but they do zero enforcement visits at the time the problem occurs.
Having lived in both Newham and Tower Hamlets previously who both have a rigorous noise complaints team, this abdication was a bit of a shock.
