How do I approach this noise problem?

I live in an end terrace house and the neighbours next door appear to be doing some sort of DIY upstairs. For the past 2 weeks almost there has been hammering and sawing continuously through the evening and even now as I write this post at 23:05. Myself and my partner both work 9-5 jobs and therefore don't want to be listening to banging coming through our bedroom wall every night. My only concern is that the neighbours have just had another child and it could been some decorating they are doing for a bedroom, although I find it very frustrating and inconsiderate that they choose to do work this late at night when people are in bed trying to sleep? I feel like knocking the door and explaining this however I don't want to cause any friction as we have never had any issues before. Has anyone had a similar experience and if so how did they manage it?
