I’m not sure Darren, possibly. It is a 100 year old property and there is a manhole at the edge of the hole that is now kind of hanging in mid air and the pipes to and from it are the old glazed terracotta pipes. Housing association have been out and a contractor is putting in a quote but because I built the extension the surveyor said they have nothing on file about it and I might need to get retrospective permission. We got permission for it when I did it, and got letters from the housing to give me the go ahead but I can’t find these as my ex’s filing system is sh!t

Its not an ex mining area is it? Could be an old mine shaft that has collapsed. Around here there have been several made their presence known. If the under lying strata is a soft rock then an underground water course could be the reason. Could prove to be expensive.

Blimey Rowdy - hope that's not too stressful for you!

Puts my issue with Thames Water into perspective, that's for sure.

That puts the water leak in my utility room in perspective. Hope it's fixed quickly.

Bloody hell Rowdy! That sounds pretty damned alarming. Hope it gets sorted quickly. Sounds like more stress you don't need.
