Yeah it's single block thick but I've set the raised beds in. I still have some more to do so I will post some pics tomorrow to give a better idea of my problem. I need to dig out about another metre along the length of it so maybe I could rescue it without dismantling the raised beds. Thanks...

Hey all, I have just dug out a load of soil for a new patio and raised beds. I have built the raised beds as close to the wall to help support it because the footing is only 6 inches deep and I have dug deeper. I have just shut my gate and noticed the wall moved. Can I just fill in the 1 to 2...

Hey chaps, I've almost done my replacement, I've had a few issues, like the whole ptrap drain was literally covered from top to bottom in concrete. Don't know if that's normal but a real pain in the backside. Anyway I have posted a picture of the job so far.

Ivory windybottom and noseall, can you see inside my head.....that is exactly what I was thinking of. You are a pair of stars. Ten thousand thanks, I will be doing the job in 2 weekends time and will let you know how I get on.

Perhaps your right I can't see anyway round it. I didn't want a new chamber,expense and time. I was just trying to get rid of chamber ready for new patio.

So do you think an adjustable 90 degree floplst turn is acceptable?

Is there a reason for this or is just best practice? If the 90 degree turn in not acute or it has a long slow turn should I still put an inspection chamber in.

Good morning all,I'm a newbie on here so be gentle! I am replacing an old ptrap drain with a bottle gully, I would like to bypass an inspection chamber that is 1.5 metres away from drain it has just the ptrap going in and out at a 90degree right turn. Can I put an adjustable 90 degree pipe on...
