When drilling and hammering, certain times must be observed. What rules apply – and what neighbours can do in the event of noise pollution.

Drilling is not allowed at all on Sundays and public holidays. If there are no special regulations in your municipality or city, it is allowed for you or your neighbor to drill and hammer until 22 p.m. in the evening. For all craft activities that you carry out at home, the following applies: Observe the general safety precautions and check whether there is a power line there before drilling.
