Bit of a longish one...
Moved into a terraced month ago, directly outside the front door is a large Yorkshire stone stoop, with a 6 inch circular grate in it to allow 'flood' water to go into our cellar...
The stone is cracked in half, badly repaired by previous owner...and noticed yesterday grate is now loose, and the smaller part of stone has dropped by half inch... CT1 wont hold it in, just tried, due to the drop... can't get below grate as been bricked up.
I'm gonna get sone ply tomorrow morn and drill and fix this in place over the top of grate as a temp measure to hold the grate in place...
Are we responsible fully for this stone stoop, or because it forms part of the pavement will the council help repair it?!
Don't want to source stone n pay some one to repair it this weekend it if they will cover costs....
Cheers...
