Yeah you may be right. In response to an initial touch-base with Thames Water they did indicate they'd in principle accept a light bend in the direction so as to avoid a manhole under a building though. My Plan B looks the most likely, with the connections then being made to the new manhole...

We've been in contact with 4 now (providing them with some details and mention of the build over position), though only one has done a site visit. Unfortunately none have been particularly committed to dealing with the build over first, and all were fairly casual about it. If we leave it til the...

That's another detail rather obstructed by the darn concrete patio. The invert at the current manhole is approximately 1.5m but I've no way of determining what it is where the sewer and lateral pass on to our property so as to determine the fall there. There is an inspection chamber where it...

Thanks all. Thames Water don't allow internal manholes. The neighbours have already extended over, meaning there's no scope for moving much (well, anything really) on their side. They did have to put a Y junction with an inspection chamber in themselves though so I do know that there's...
