Hi all I'm after a little bit of advice. I am looking into the idea of having a extension to the rear our semi detached property. We currently have a conservatory [already built when we bought house] and we would like to get rid of this and build a 3m x 3m extension in its place. We would then knock through to create a kitchen dinner. The problem is that there is currently a manhole/sewer in the middle of the conservatory that serves us and the neighbours. The manhole has got a cover on that is bolted down and has been fully tiled so at the moment I am unable to lift it without causing a lot of damage to the floor. I've spoken to next door and he said that his drain is about 6ft deep and have a pipe feeding in from one side then out via the other side and it also has our connection [basic drawing below]. All neighbours have a manhole in their gardens. We will be getting some builders in over the next few weeks to have a look but would like a basic idea of what work would need to be done with the drains to see if it is a viable option or not.
many thanks
Dave
