Thanks for that. I do love gardening but I’m not very knowledgeable . I’ve added some photos. The 1st shows where the top section was dug up and the lower section has been driven over and soil has spread. We are planning to add some fresh topsoil to the top. Presume we’re ok to just turf the...

Last week we had to get a repair done on the septic tank soakaway which involved a digger in use in a fairly confined space. One part of lawn has had a small digger toing and froing over it now looks ripped, brown in patches and looks more compacted. The area over the new section of...

Well power supply shouldn’t be a problem. No clay here (which I presume would be the main issue) the soil is easy to work. No watercourses nearby and I don’t think the water table is high. We’re not sure why it’s failed. We bought it before the new regs came in and the house for the previous...

Our soakaway has failed and due to our plot not being that big we think our only option will be replace the current septic tank and soakaway with a sewage treatment plant and new soakaway (sooner or later). Has anyone had similar work done recently (our house is a 3 bed) or installed a similar...

Something we hadn’t planned to do yet but we need to sort our soakaway (linked with septic tank) and since that’s going to...

The one inside the house? That, we know is now fully open. So what can affect flow rate? What do we need to check out and where should we start?

We moved about a year and a half ago and after initially having an issue with the internal stop tap (it was very stiff and took a while to fully open up). Even now however we can’t run a second tap without a dramatic drop in pressure. A friend suggested getting the pressure and flow checked at...

It’s our garden behind it. I hadn’t thought about going through the insurance. Is it likely that it’s covered....I’ll have a look through. Anyone had experience of claiming for something similar?

Having not long moved our to do list is pretty long and we’re trying to prioritise. A section of the retaining wall behind our house has quite a big crack. The garden does bank up quite a bit behind it so there is a lot of pressure. As you can see from the photos there is drainage but unlike...
