Hi All
Sorry if this is in the wrong section im new hear.
Im starting an extension at my home, on the side of the house.
I already have a side extension but I want to bring it further forward to the front of the house.
My problem is there is a manhole about 500mm in front of the original extension. I have been told that I should dig a hole large enough to take a new chamber in front of the new extension and cut into the pipe and add the new chamber.
This seems simple enough but my issue is I need to lay an oversite over the area where the existing manhole is. Do I need to remove the lid and all the bricks and connect all the pipework together with fittings sold today or is there any other options which will pass building regs.
I hope I have given enough detail.
All advice would be welcomed.
Thanks
