This is an issue that doesn't raise its head very often where I am but it has on a couple of occasions.
In a nearby town I was asked to refit a new shower cubicle including tiling etc. The only parking within sensible distance was allocated parking outside the house. I was warned that the parking enforcement officer could be quite strict and issue tickets. However the job passed off without a hitch. It may have been something to do with the fact I parked in an unallocated space and it was obvious that I was working there.
Again in the same town, a few months later I had to park on double yellows to load the best part of 4 tonnes of shillet (slate/rubble) from a wall I'd demolished into my trailer. Then deliver 1/2 a meter of concrete into the trench. I contacted the council who understood my concern and the following day the parking enforcement officer came by who simply asked how long I needed to be there, gave me the thumbs up and went on his way.
So it seems that communication is the key here.
