Yorkshire water have been tonight and cammed the whole thing and turns out I have a shared sewer so Yorkshire water will fix it!

So I dug under the pipe this evening to check and huge cracks under the pipe and the concrete where the bend meets the clay lateral sewer pipe has pretty much completely come away so vast amounts of water coming out from under the pipe and there is a pretty big cavity directly underneath the...

As in to replace the piece?

Well now the sealant has stopped the leak... Pretty lucky right now haha. I guess it would just be someone having to smash the concrete out to gain access to the pipe to then replace it if it did leak as wouldn't put tons of concrete in.

The adhesive sealant has stopped all water coming out for now. Could I just fill the hole around the pipe with quick setting concrete to hold everything in place rather than replacing or am I asking for trouble further down the line?

I've botched it a bit pending it being fixed properly and has substantially slowed down the water. Would you just get the cracked bend piece replaced with plastic pipe where is meets the lateral clay pipe or would you replace the entire pipework leading to the boundary about 1.5metres away all...

Unfortunately there is a crack that runs down the pipe directly underneath the large crack and it won't let me post a video but it's a lot of water that is coming out.

I have just discovered we have a crack in our soil pipe just under the ground where the soil pipe enters the sewer system and water is pouring out into the ground causing rising damp on the wall next to it. I have attached a picture, do I call Yorkshire water to repair or do I need a drain...

It was sealed a long time ago, probably at least 10 years+ and only lived in the house for 2 years so no idea. No bottom vent fixed and radiator in front of the old fireplace opening but no issues at all on the chimney stack apart from these salts. The bricks were completely white with salts...

In 2023 I had a chimney leak where the chimney stack below the roof line was getting extremely damp to about 1/3rd of the way down the stack below the roof line. In Jan 2024 we had the chimney sorted; all new lead, chimney pots and cowl all checked, new concrete flaunching and all mortar...

Just had a small extension roof redone, pitch of the roof is 19-20 degrees. They have only done a 70-80mm headlap on each tile instead of the recommended 100mm for the pitch. Will this cause issues and should I get them back to re-do at correct headlap? Luckily haven't paid a penny yet. Roof is...

So had the roof redone, pitch of the roof is 19-20 degrees. They have only done a 70-80mm headlap on each tile instead of the recommended 100mm for the pitch. Will this cause issues and should I get them back to re-do at correct headlap? Luckily haven't paid a penny yet. Roof is 3.5m long and 3m...

Ah ok, so best to stick with original like a Marley modern etc?

Oh really? Haven't heard of any issues with TLE, is this word of mouth or known issues?

Sorry should have mentioned, west Yorkshire so a bit cheaper than London

How much would be reasonable for a roofer to charge for a 11m2 small roof? No scaffolding required, rip off tiles, battons and membrane and re-lay it all with new Marley tiles, no skip. Got a few quotes and intrigued to see what people think.

This is all great, thank you!

Looking to get a single storey kitchen extension re-roofed as reaching end of life. Roof pitch is 19 degrees and Marley state the modern or edgemire tile can go down to 17.5 degrees with 100mm headlap but is it wise to do it or am I better off with reclaimed welsh slate? Only issue with slate is...

Not much then . What other issues have you spotted out of curiosity? Also, what do you mean by "The top soaker should run under the back gutter return "wing".
