Drilling on Saturday and Sunday - you should know that
For many hobbyists, the weekend is the time when they can do the most. That's why they drill on Sundays. You can find out what you need to know and what you need to know in our practical tip.
Drill on Saturday - almost anything is allowed
Saturday is a bit more suitable for loud drilling work than Sunday:
- On Saturdays you can drill from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. During this period you are allowed to carry out louder work, but you should still take care of your neighbors. This is especially true in rental apartments. For example, if you start the drill at 9:00 am or later, instead of on time at 8:00 am, it will certainly contribute to peace.
- Important: In many municipalities and cities, there is a break around noon, especially on Saturday. This can start at 12 p.m. and continue until 3 p.m. However, this varies from city to city. During this time, you should keep drilling to a minimum. You should also pay attention to the special features of your rental contract. Quiet times can also be specified there.
- Tip: If you need to drill on Saturdays on some weekends in a row, inform your neighbors beforehand. They can then adjust better to it and also plan their own lives better. It may also make sense to give them a little something as compensation.
Drilling on Sundays - these are the facts
Unlike on a Saturday, drilling is not permitted on Sundays. Read here why this is so:
- Sundays are closed in Germany. Sunday is equivalent to a public holiday, so you must not make any noise on that day. For you, this means that you have to leave the drill at rest.
- Should you still drill on Sundays and cause noise, you may be shown due to noise pollution. In this case, you must expect a severe penalty, as there are no exceptions for such cases.
- Tip: Plan your renovation work so that you perform louder work during the week and on Saturdays and use Sunday for quiet work, such as wallpapering or painting. So you can get ahead with work on Sunday and at the same time be considerate of your neighbors.
