Hi all,
Im considering a side extension and currently going through the early stages of getting drawings done. In advance of having someone round, they have asked me to locate any drains on my property.
We have a manhole cover at the side where the extension would be built over and ive just taken the cover off in readiness. However, it appears that it only serves next door and not mine as the pipe heading read is a dead end.
What will actually happen here? As a minimum, build over request with the water board and a nice (not) manhole cover inside the nice new build part so that it can still be accessed?
Worst case, as above but also the complete reroute of the pipework?
All of which will be costly to me for a drain that technically isnt even mine. How sh*t is that! Literally. Surely it cant even be classed as shared either?! I have a drainage system on my property that doesnt even support my house.
