I have dug out the crap from the drain and it already exists from before the start of the white door and ends where the conservatory begins. From there it is just draining into grit. I think the next step is to find a way to understand if the manole cover takes water from underneath the...

OK understood - I will havd a go at it with the spade later and share more pics. FYI it was the survey of the house that pointed this out - there are lots of damp issues here and getting a drain installed that actually works was advised and budgeted for. I will have a good scrape around later...

Sorry I think you can see the white framed door in the first picture and yes there is existing drain there but seems to run to shingle but then also maybe finally running under the conservatory and out to the manhole which is pictured in the third photo to the upper right

Hello Experts. I have been quoted £2800 to lay an arco drain along the side of my new house, starting from the left of the white door, and around the conservatory, to join the manhole drain on the other side (pics attached) The cost could be less as the builders said there was a good chance...

Thank you both. I will take your advice.

Thanks Dilalio. To get under that bath will mean some serious destruction. Is that seriously the only way? It seems slightly absurb I have to go to all this hassle when its just a matter of a screw and a plastic thingy to slot into that pipe and pull it up. Does my description of the type of...

This might help. I had to do something similar for my children's new tablets. Google Play can be removed then reinstalled using the correct apk files. It takes some time to get it right, but it worked for me https://www.androidpit.com/install-google-play-services-apk

Hello. Time to put my hand up and say "yes, that was me". Trying to clean out some gunk from the bath sink hole, I started to unscrew the plug hole cover / flange. I kept unscrewing it....and unscrewing it....now the plug hole cover is off. Nice clean sink hole .... But now the pipe that...
