the bad chasing done by the apprentice I haven't even posted its so bad, this latest chasing was apparently done by the spark that is supervising the electrician, the company is NICEIC registered apparently which is baffling

I don't know they seem like new cables, personally I've never seen white T&E but I'm not a spark, they are apparently for the lights

he is supposed to be an NICEIC registered spark, he only came for few hours on the first day then left his apprentice alone for 3 days to do the work then sent another guy that is supposed to be qualified to work with the apprentice all supposedly under his wise supervision

none of those are data cables, for some reason he used a different colour T&E

does anyone know if the below is done to the correct zones ? we had an electrician that is doing a full rewire, there's more examples of weird things is this within the correct zones ? I think the below is fine but seems too packed with no protection unless it doesn't need it ? the...

yes it turned out to be private, on that note. although the manhole did not open up an access panel to another dimension lol it was suprisingly full of spiders and cobwebs, I don't even understand how they got there let alone what they are feeding on...

I posted an update

so mystery solved for anyone interested, image below 1. turned out to be the waste from the bathtub/shower upstairs 'no waste from neighbours' 2. toilet waste 3. next door neighbour 'goes under his extension!' we got a builder that will relocate this to be on the side of the property...

would I need to ask them to allow me to relocate it ?

wow! we think this is the case here too but I'be being a chicken and refusing to open up the manhole so will try and get someone to do it lol, what did your mate do to solve this ?

I spoke with a plumber onsite, he said its not something he deals with so I'm looking around for a drainage company

My mother in law moved in to a new property and we discovered what appears to be a shared manhole when we lifted the floor! do we need to contact Thames water and ask them to confirm ownership ? and if they say its their's then what do we do ?

I cant do we plastering myself its a skill I'm quite bad at to be honest, when I asked a plasterer for just a skim coat for that area I was quoted £500, I can only imagine how much more wet plastering would cost... having said that, I do agree wet plastering might be better and more useful when...

good idea, is the mortar only because of the plastering ? I was thinking of using plasterboard and foam adhesive

yes will be using plasterboards and foam adhesive gun to fix them then tape, skim etc

I see, so it seems to be a thing.

anyone ? :cry:

just thinking about this further, if you want to play it safe consider the average ground level around the slab as the reference point then go 2.5 from there

some more images below showing the weird mix of blocks and bricks

Given the unevenness of your garden, look for the highest natural ground level around the slab. Measure the 2.5-meter height limit from this point. Using the slab itself as a reference may not comply unless it aligns with the highest natural ground level surrounding it. P.S I'm not a building...
