Manhole in hallway

[enigmatic]

Embarking on a flooring project in hallway and living room currently. Lifted dirty old carpet in hallway to be greeted by this.



Any idea the cost involved in getting it moved? I want to rip up the tile and have the floor screeded level so as to be able to lay a solid wood floor across the living room and this hallway.

Any ideas on what i could do?

Many thanks

It depends on what in the access chamber - if it's foul connections then moving it is a no-no.

Looks like a mat well to me

If it is a drain cover then forget about moving the drains - major expense and disruption. Inside you're supposed to use a double sealed manhole cover and these usually have a recessed top that allows them to be filled in with the final flooring.

Quarry tiles in a hallway? Is this hallway in an extension of some kind?

Where is your exterior manhole, & your soil pipe, in relation to this discovery?

If its a piece of screwed down ply then why not unscrew and lift it?
