See above, had these photos from a week ago, too dark to photo the road itself

Hi The road has a street drain that gets blocked by leaves and stuff maybe 20 times a year. When that happens and it's raining the water goes to my house is downhill of the drain I asked KCC highways and they said it's not a fault and not them to clean the drains all the time. Anyway feels...

Tbh no :( . The window parts in the link you show are not the additional, unnecessary wood vertical bits in my photo I just removed and replaced that serve no real purpose bar decoration as far as I can see. Unless big gaps of wood not abutting the brick is a design to let wood breathe. In...

Hi See photo of example window. This photo shows exterior sash trim on left and right in place. Solid wall property. I have removed c44cm of the bottom right hand trim as rotten, .. to repair. All fine there, but what surprised me was big holes behind the trim going back c15cm depth by 20cm...

Person came, said all fine to use :) yah!

Hello Had induction hob removed, cable left 6mm2 routed via void between ground and first (no insulation), across house, then final 2m down side of internal solid wall clipped to wall, with 45mm celotex in front. (Then taken out the wall) Nothing else using cable of course. Have electrician...

Yes open fire, was looking as see no air vent below or behind it (I think just the normal backfill stuff). Anyway shame was not a cellar, my boys were looking forward to digging it up. Cheers.

Final thoughts...I did perhaps the obvious, late in the day, followed the straight pipe and c8 metres later assuming it carries on, it gets to directly below a fireplace.

All of ground is solid, no wood flooring on ground floor I have ever seen or found in 17 years. Oh well good news not harming me or anything so thanks guys, I'll leave it to the next resident in c2065 when I leave to buy a much longer endoscope camera :) to find out

Is that how a suspected floor works? I thought they were more of less hollow, bar the odd pillar thing?

hi all, ok I can't work out how to upload a video, anyway that endoscope camera thing turned up, and after pushing through the air brick about 20cm later you see this photo... The sides all stop c33cm so start of inside blocked, but the pipe I was able to go I to c1m before endoscope could go no...

If you meant remove on outside.. 100mm, I did have building control here about a year ago wanting to see how far down the building went for a different face of the building. We went down 9 courses of bricks below ground before guy said stop as we could not get to the foundation start point which...

It's too cold to remove the rad on the inside, to then cut into plasterboard, so that will need to wait until April time. But yes will do. I have the architects set of blue prints and work docs from 1971 as we're given to me by estate owners on moving in, when they converted the stables doesn't...

May help or not, but this was originally a stables many many years ago

Floor is solid floor screed or concrete, tiled on top

No fireplace in that room, the air brick you see is 2metres to the left of the front door

my drain offs for the system are elsewhere... there was in 1970 an oil based boiler c7 metres away from there, maybe legacy noone bothered to remove

ok, any idea why anyone would put those pipes at ground level?

Those two pipes -> scratched and are copper, and calipers measure 14.9mm if helps.
