How many visits is acceptable from a landlord???

He emailed and visited me on Monday to check the progress of the skip... he emailed me again this afternoon - and he's coming again tomorrow afternoon, again under the guise of checking progress on the skip.

At this point, these "checks" feel like more of an inconvenience than they are a help to me because it means that I'm not going to be able to focus on what he wants me to do and I've got to stop and keep an eye out on him visiting because he won't ring the doorbell like a normal person.

"checking progress on the skip"

I'm afraid I don't understand what this means.

@DunningKruger We have a skip that we are filling... and they think they need to come over every few days to look in the skip and ensure that it is, indeed, filling up.

@HootyTheNightOwl Is a skip a dumpster, then?

@DunningKruger Sort of...

@HootyTheNightOwl And the landlord cares about it filling up for... a reason?

@DunningKruger Yes... it needed doing - but, the point I'm at now is where I need to throw some bigger pieces of furniture in. I need time to reorganise some stuff around to make room to manoeuvre these pieces around.

For example, I need to get the bed in the bedroom out (it has collapsed) and the bed in my hallway in. At the same time, I'm going to throw out my sofa and chair and drag in a new one.

I can't do that if the landlord is taking up time that I currently need since the skip goes back on Monday.

It'd be better if they just left me alone until then and do a property inspection after that to see what progress I have made rather than slowing me down while I'm actively working on what they want me to do. It's not like I'm asking for something they need to go to great lengths to accommodate me on.
