I complained to LHR and this was included in their response: "Unfortunately, there is currently disruption to night-time alternation due to runway resurfacing works which are taking place at night. Most aircraft flying after 22:30 and before 06:00 use a single runway while the resurfacing works take place overnight on the other runway.We started the runway resurfacing works in late 2023 with the southern runway resurfaced first. However, we have now switched to the northern runway to undertake surveys and associated works before starting on the resurfacing. This work is expected to be complete by June 2026." So this is the reason why the 4:30AM flights are not using the northern runway and using the southern runway continuously over Putney.  I am astonished this will be until June 2026. If it takes them that long to resurface, what on earth is the point of the third runway? It'll take forever to build.
