That’s close to what I thought when I said about fixing a single 3x2 down each side then hanging the others off straps.

I’m just reading Freddie’s link now. I’m thinking I’d struggle with the perimeter because the 2 internal walls are those hollow terracotta blocks which are really weak and the 2 external walls have the angle on them. I want to stay close to that angle so I don’t loose too much head height...

I’d start here, not to easy to navigate on my phone though https://www.clark-drain.com/products/by-sector/residential-and-landscape

So the existing ceilings are like a banana, you can’t tell by looking but as soon as I offer the new ceiling joists up it becomes clear.

I don’t understand how that system works.

So I could use 3x2 and slide cables in easy. It puts me just under the ceiling curve too:

Ok, I need some help because I think my method is ****e. Couple of pics: I’ve put a 4x2 block on each existing joist and then attached my new lower 3x2 to that. Problem is, it’s taking ages and I think the ceiling bananas a bit. Instead I’m thinking of screwing a full length of 3x2 to...

Sounds pretty straight forward to me. If I couldn’t get it going downstream I would use a piece rope or rod to pull the jetter head up the junction. Obviously needs CCTV as well.

You could always put drain dye in the gully (or whatever you have at the top end) then wait for a downpour.

I’m not sure yet.

I found Howdens do a 2.4mtr one (y)

Long enough to simulate a decent rain fall.

You would first run a hose down the pipe when it’s not raining and see if the water comes up through the ground and floods the garden.

What’s the white pipe already on the right?

50’s I think. I’ll ask my daughter later (y)

Maybe, unless the horizontal piece through the wall is knackered too.

The whole house is pointed with sand/cement. How do I tell if it’s a lime mortar underneath?

I pulled them down from an internal wall so they were free ;)

I’m getting the wood for this on Saturday. I was thinking of using 3x2 and fixing a 6”ish piece to the existing joists with a couple of screws then going under that with a full piece a bit like this (not to scale): What’s the difference between 3x2 CLS and normal 3x2?

What about a match for these while we are on the subject:
