drainage

Hi everyone, I'm going to do a rear extension, and as from the attached photo, my neighbour has already extended a bit, and we have signed the party wall agreement with them. My builder suggested to not build a wall alongside my neighbour's, instead, they'll build a new wall and leave about...

Hello I am about to start my tiling in my upstairs bathroom which I delayed from last year. I just made a quick sketch of my drainage plan. Please see below, is it all good for Uk Regs. My Building Officer told me that it is best to use 50mm. then connect your 40mm pipes to it. Using riding...

Hello. Help or advice needed. Every time I clean patio puddles form along the fence panel. Due to neighbours garden being lower level than mine this dirty water then ends up in their patio. I do mop it up but was wondering if there some kind of cheap pump (not much money so cheaper the better)...

I have recently bought this house and there is some damp coming through the new plaster at one side of the bay on the inside. Pics below of inside and out. I don’t know where to start with it- the most obvious is the lack of adequate drainage from the main drain from the roof but could it also...

Hi folks I have this buchan trap in my garden, the area I want to monoblock. I'd like to replace the concrete lid with something more aesthetically pleasing. But can't seem to find anything. I know it needs to be vented etc. The shaft size is 360x240 (inside measurements). Could I corbel...

Hi, I’d like to use a bottle gully which currently takes the output from a roof downspout to take the output from a perforated pipe drain I plan to run behind a new retaining wall in the garden. The bottle gully in question has closed boss inlets (eg marley ug50). Presumably you need to solvent...

Just wondering if anyone knows what this would be covering? It's directly next to the waste pipe and on neighbouring properties is where the gutter downpipe would be, and/or a drain, as we have neither (for reasons unknown, our gutter runs into a water butt nearby and no open drain)

Hi, I've read lots of threads with similar problems to this issue but still struggling to find a solution. Context...I live in a 1930s semi on a hillside. Some neighbours have reported have soggy gardens/water under floorboards and one neighbour has a pipe in their garden which gushes...

Hi everyone, We inherited a very large and deep hole in the garden. It is about 15 meters x 15 meters and about 1.5 meter deep. It was probably dug out with the intention of creating a large pond but just left there. We would like to fill it up so the final thing is a levelled garden, but would...

Hi all, long time guest user but first post here. We are currently having a single storey extension built. There are various private and public sewers that run under the extension with a man hole having been removed. The next obstacle is bridging this pipework for the foundations, because of...

Hi all, I'm about to lay the 110mm soil pipe needed to route my kitchen sink, washing machine etc. to the main drain, before pouring the slab for the base of my new floor. I was planning on having bends vertically up through the slab in order to connect to 40mm waste pipe etc. Would welcome...

Having a conservatory installed ground works guys started digging foundations trench, as they got close to back wall of house the ground was found to be wet, they dug deeper and found flowing water up against the house foundations. Water board and council have carried out numerous checks to find...

I'm installing a 16kw air source heat pump next week, and need to put in a spot to anchor it. I'm wondering if people can comment on how they've installed them and what has worked? I'm aware this ASHP will put off a lot of water (60-100l a day) and there's an inlet for sewer/waste water (it's a...

Hi everyone, Keen newbie here taking on a garden project. I'm building a small retaining wall and a patio. Thinking about drainage I'm going to run slotted flexible pipe by the wall and now thinking about where to put the water. There is a storm drain inspection chamber with lots of spare...

Hi folks, anyone know what this is - it’s made of cast iron? There’s one at the boundary of a lot of properties in Aberdeen.(which all seem to have been built in the mid 1960s). I think it might be a sewer vent but would like confirmation as we’re widening the opening to our driveway. Thanks

I've demolished our old garage which has an inspection pit. The bottom is below the water line and in wet weather a pool of water forms. I want to fill it with the blocks from the garage and then pour cement to the top six inches so it's level with the floor. I have three questions: 1) Do I...

I've got a 4" deep timber frame on top of paving slabs ready to fill in before the artificial grass arrives. The area is 4m x 5.5m. I have a couple of questions: - Should I remove some or all of the paving slabs before filling the frame in? Is there any benefit/harm to keeping the slabs? - What...
