@Hugh Jaleak Cheers, all great info. You're right about sorting other gullies, might as well do it right while I've got this much dug up.

Broke up an old concrete slab at the side of my house, discovered cracked and dislodged clay connector below iron stub. Had a suspicion, so I kept digging and found another major crack just after the gully branch under the pipe. Both cracks must’ve been there a while as soil had been washed away...

Taking up tiles in front garden, what is the black and silver looking aggregate?

Early 1900's Victorian property with poured concrete at the side. I plan to get rid of the whole thing because 1) aesthetic choice, but more importantly 2) it's bridging DPC (if there even is one...) and causing damp issues. I'd rather take it all up than cut a channel. I don't know when the...

Is there any syphoning risk on the sink if I'm attaching to the 45 degree part of the soil stack? I'm planning to use a boss strap, and I know they have the slight angle on them which is sort of pointless since it's a drop straight in from the sink.

I want to move my bathroom sink and shower waste pipes to the soil stack. I'm assuming this is fine, but just want to make sure I'm not missing anything important. Also not totally sure what fittings I should be looking for given the angles at play. Thanks for any advice!

All good info so far thanks everyone. It is in fact circular saw. I entertained the thought to “use what I got”, maybe just buying diamond blade—dust and time were my worry. I do value my time…and I suspect the concrete has been down at least a decade so quite strong. From what I’m hearing so...

Previously poured concrete ground level too high. I want to cut a channel and fill with pea gravel. I have a circular saw and SDS chisel, but I worry that’s a chore. Anything I can hire to make it easier? Wondering if I’d be able to get flush/close enough to wall with a disc cutter. Side...
