A few weeks ago we were visited by a man who wanted to do something to the manhole in our garden due to the neighbours having a blocked toilet. We have since had a sewer smell from the manhole. The paving around is cracked but has been for a while. What needs doing to get rid of the smell? Does the manhole cover need replacing, the paving need relaying or something else?

Thames water came and said their manhole is ok. However paving surrounding it has a crack. Hosing into the crack goes straight into the depths of the sewers. They suggest repaying the garden but I can't see how this can be any more than cosmetic. Surely the sewer gases can get through pretty paving too. Any suggestions?

    • That's a great solution, but not really practical for a second floor windowsill! I tried many things, spiky wires sticking out to deter them from landing, the widest cage available (pictured), but they would still descend, scaring off all the small songbirds, cram their heads through the cage and devour all the food. I was metaphorically tearing my hair out so, combined with the worries about spreading disease, I had to call it a day. Very sad.
    • Plus it is pure hypocrisy from the council, who pontificate about cleaner, greener, spaces, but then throw that out of the window for a bit of cash from a disruptive event.  I will raise this with them. I will point out to them that whether their event takes place or not is of as little consequence too 😉 Because they are public servants paid for by our taxes. It's the whole reason FOI exists. We have a right to know certain things.
