Renovation Dust Problem

Your next-door neighbour is renovating their house, and the builders sand and cut materials outside every day. Dust now settles on your washing, car and balcony, and you have to wash everything twice. The work is expected to continue for another month. Speak to your neighbour: explain the problem politely and ask them to reduce the dust.

Hi, sorry to bother you, I know you're busy with the renovation. I just wanted to mention a small issue. When the builders sand and cut materials out the front, a lot of dust drifts over to our side, and it's been settling on the washing, the car and the balcony, so I've been rewashing everything. I realise some dust is unavoidable, but would you mind asking the team to use a dust sheet or do the cutting further back, maybe in the garage? Thanks for understanding.
