Hi all

I'd appreciate your help please.


We have a utility room in our ground floor. The floor is covered with tiles and the internal manhole cover which provides access to the drain/sewer below is also covered over with tiles.


We need to get access to the manhole asap as we have been experiencing foul smells from the drain and we have drain flies. I'm also worried that vermin has entered the wall/ceiling.


The guy from the drain company accessed the drain from the back garden but said he needs to access from that particular area in the utility room (towards the front of the house) as he thinks there has been damage. He said a hatch/hinged recessed internal manhole cover should have been fitted to allow access and we need to get one fitted.


I'd like to know if anyone has had something like this done in their house? Whether anyone can recommend someone who can do this? Whether any tradesmen have experience of doing this and can quote/provide references?


I've attached 1. a photo of the area in our house and 2. a photo of what we need.


Thank you in advance for your help.

    • The difficulty with all the national shame is that you are handing the world to the right wing populist parties ("The flag, love it or leave it").  You can look at many if not most of Europe for the damage their colonial conquests did to much of the world. For Britain we could equally look at partition and the impact on the Indian subcontinent, 10 million plus death and the bonkers situation with India and Pakistan now.  Spain and Portugal went much further in wiping out much of the population of South America.  i understand that Stalin was less.  We all know about the Third Reich, even then perhaps the allies could have done more. I am not questioning what you say, but sadly most are only concerned about the present and don't care about sins of the past. And back to my earlier comment that some will point out other 'conflicts' attracting much less interest. Not a reason not to march tomorrow

    • I'm interested to know why you say that? They both sell the same kind of thing, they both have own brand products, and unless I've got it completely wrong, they both seem to be trying to attract the same kind of customer? I would have thought a Waitrose and an M&S so close to each other would have split the customer base (?not sure of the correct term) for both of them? People might shop in both, but I'd have thought each store would still lose out on sales?
