Have you got any photo's of the area Paul? Might help with getting some ideas back. I have experienced a blocked soakaway at my property and can confirm that it is quite worrying when water is building up quickly around your house! Mine was like a moat! I currently have a work around in place...

I have a "First 5" tower, which despite it's name it is not 5 metres tall! It gives you reachable access to 5m, of course depending on how tall you are, with a platform height of just under 3m. It does have a slight wobble, but that is to be expected with such a light platform. As a DIY'er I am...
