I've just been to the house to double check and it turns out that 4 of my terrace neighbours actually all run off into 1 downpipe that I confirmed does go into a soak away i never knew about. Question now is... will adding a 5th property to this 1 downpipe overload it! Does anyone know if...

ok thanks. I'm just so worried that im going to end up in a stale mate and end up never actually getting signed off. I'll make a few quick changes elsewhere he requested and get him round to discuss it :-).

well the property i own behind the house is litrally the depth of that path. With that and the sceptic tank as the only alternatives would a bit of onanism likely be the best solution? perhaps I could put a bit of a slope in the path as well to encourage the water to flow away from the house.

I mean to run it from one end of my house to the boiler, the mains supply comes in at the front, but my boiler is at the back of the house. The work I want to do is after the gas meter. How would I get the pipe from my front lounge to my boiler at the back in my kitchen? I can only see 2...

Hi Quick question for anyone in the know. If i run a gas pipe under a solid floor how deep under does it have to be? I would like to just chissel in a channel for it to lie then screed over that. I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
