I enjoy watching any video where people are making things, doesn't matter what. That the beauty of RUclips isn't it! Everybodies best effort shared fro learning, and entertainment. My fave video fo last week, was some guy making a globe out of colouring pencils. ruclips.net/video/p1qxrG2pHNE/видео.html very pleasing
I am in Johannesburg; S.Africa Attemring this on Friday with two casual labourers. Love that co-coordinating the flow connectir point. Goibg shopping with your video.
Buy some lubricant, to help the pipes go in. Also sand paper / angle grinder the ends of the pipes so they are tapered. This will make things easier for the job. If you do not sand the end of the pipe then a sharp edge can push one of the seals out of the joints, and things can get ore complicated! Good luck! :-)
"to check everything's working, which I'm sure it would, because ummmm... where else would it go" gold. On a serious note, I'm currently having an extension built and this has been useful. Cheers
A thing of beauty, thank you Dorky. In my garden I have an inspection chamber shared with houses further up the run that I wish to reposition 1m to accommodate building works. Do I just ask my neighbours to hold out for duration of the works?? Perhaps trying to build as much as possible of the new one with the old one still intact first? Any help much appreciated.
Man that could get messy. I would do as you say and get everything as ready as possible, but I would dig a big hole under where you will cut pipe, so you can put a drum, or IBC to catch all of the poop. Even if it just water it will mix with mud and make soupy mess. When it’s all done, hire vacuum tanker to come and empty the tank. I mean you could just ask neighbours… but
Hi. I only do this as a hobby , but I should think £1000 upwards. Materials are about £300, disposal of soil £200, labour £500 but labour very variable.
Yes. Grubbed out with excavator. If the old one had been well inside the line of the footing I may have left it as the suspended floors, would have gone right over it. However, it was right in the way of the footing, and I am not sure if you are allowed to leave the old on in anyway.
Hi man nice job indeed! Do you need to inform local authority or water company for sort of work you have done here? If so any link for the process greatly appreciated. I am thinking of a single story extension by 3m from current wall, but a manhole fall inside the extension. I have to mention that all the sewer pipes to the manhole originates only from my property and pipes connect to the main sewer system through next door neighbor.Thanks 👍
Provided it is a drain and not a sewer it is quite simple. A drain is "privately owned" whilst a sewer is owned by sewer company. You can download an "asset map" to see if your pipes are "adopted" (owned by sewer company). For a private drain you will need building regs approval. Just google "[your local council] building regs application" they will come and check you extension, including the drains at various points. My inspector was a nice guy and super helpful. Not like the olden days!
The way I understand it "drains" belong to you (or perhaps group of neighbours etc.) whilst sewers belong to sewage companies. The quickest way to find out I would say, is to get an asset map from sewer company (Anglian Water, Thames Water etc) you can download them from sites like DigDat. If the sewer is adopted (owned by sewer company) it will be shown on the map you download. If they own it then you will have to get permission. Ask as many questions as you like. If I don't know the answer I'll say so.
I moved mine out of line, and building inspector was OK with it. Probably better to move in line if you can, but for me that would have messed up other angles. The main enemy here is angles, "Part H Building Regulations" say mentions falls and max angles (45 degrees) but the layout (lining up is) left to your imagination. Part H: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/442889/BR_PDF_AD_H_2015.pdf For some examples of new drainage have a look at this: www.marleyplumbinganddrainage.com/media/1191/underground-brochure-july-2015.pdf If you man hole forms part of an adopted public sewer then there are different rules.
I wish people would film more of this sort of thing, I find it really fascinating

Same here I love watching them 👍🏻

LOL. Yeah, speak first, think later. Good luck with your build!

Man that could get messy. I would do as you say and get everything as ready as possible, but I would dig a big hole under where you will cut pipe, so you can put a drum, or IBC to catch all of the poop. Even if it just water it will mix with mud and make soupy mess. When it’s all done, hire vacuum tanker to come and empty the tank. I mean you could just ask neighbours… but
How much do you charge to do a change of inspection chamber and it's location?
Hi. I only do this as a hobby , but I should think £1000 upwards. Materials are about £300, disposal of soil £200, labour £500 but labour very variable.
@@DorkyThorpy thanks mate.
What do you do to get rid of the old one? Pull the whole thing up?
Yes. Grubbed out with excavator. If the old one had been well inside the line of the footing I may have left it as the suspended floors, would have gone right over it. However, it was right in the way of the footing, and I am not sure if you are allowed to leave the old on in anyway.

I have a similar problem. Did you need to get any permission off the local water authority first or did you just go ahead and do it?
The way I understand it "drains" belong to you (or perhaps group of neighbours etc.) whilst sewers belong to sewage companies. The quickest way to find out I would say, is to get an asset map from sewer company (Anglian Water, Thames Water etc) you can download them from sites like DigDat.

We had to get a build over agreement from Thames Water
Can you actually move the chamber out of the line or do you have to move inline with the drain?
