Thank you, that's what I would have thought

It was a glazed pot gully I think you call it back inlet gully so the pipe went into the path and into the back of the gully. It had a heavy grate that lifted off.

I don't believe the council can take action after 4 years and you could purchase an indemnity policy for your buyers in the unlikely event that they do.

But if the pipe is full of debris it will be difficult to pull out

The home insurance did it and I'm not interfering with it. I just want to know if it's going to be a problem and if so I'll get them to come and put a shoe on it.

I had a really bad water leak under the floorboards last year and I have no idea how long the pipe had been leaking for but the concrete slab was saturated the entire ground floor. Since it's been repaired the house shakes when buses go past. Does anyone know if this will stop or is the...

I have a 2m high close boarded fence that is boarded in the outside of my land but it has blown down 4 times in 10 years snapping the posts off at ground level. If I board it so I have the good side facing me will that stop the wind? Thanks for any advice you can give me
