Bit about lining here: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/drainage-engineers-chat-lining-drains.484605/

You could always try your insurance if you think there will be more roots in the longer section. If your insurance appointed contractor unlocked and CCTV’d and found no faults, you would make no claim and incur no cost as far as I understand. If your 4mtr section was 100mm pipe I would guess...

If you can afford to loose 100mm then a stud wall 50mm off the house wall packed with Rockwool Soundslab would be decent. It would cost about £150/£160 in materials then need a plasterer to skim it.

Someone else (y)

Water meter contracting for United Utilities. More money, less hours, no wandering around farms looking for leaks, no 3 hour drives to Birmingham and I don’t have to have the van at home (which I hate) so I can get my Clubsport and have a short commute to my new yard :)

Handed in my notice :eek:

You could try a 44mm or put a 2mm spacer down the side of it. https://www.toolstation.com/timber-to-timber-joist-hanger/p46699

What do you do at the minute? Are you self employed, retired or working for someone? I only ask because of how consistently accurate and helpful you are on here.

Come on @Nige F, wake up ;)

That looks great!!! You light looks **** though :LOL::LOL:

Thanks John, it’s just for storage and the joist are 6x2’s (y)

Daughters loft storage area is ready for some flooring. We can get 8x4 sheets up there so I was thinking of using 18mm shuttering ply because it’s strong and cheap. Would there be any disadvantage of using that compared to the 18mm 8x2 sheets of the P5 chipboard?

Yeah, I just punch them back in :mad: :LOL::LOL:

When I do drain repairs I never use a wacker. I use a hand rammer to compact the stone then rubber mallet to smack the blocks down onto grit sand (Or grano). Then once I brush the kiln dried over I tap the blocks with the mallet again to get them perfect.

Your gully trap is under the blocks now so it it ever did block you will have to dig it up to access it. That’s the round but you see on the ‘before’ picture just out from the house.

If it’s a room you insulate the ceiling, if it’s just storage or empty you insulate the floor.

Don’t forget your camera.
