    I know, that's why I said it's not been signed off on that basis.

    Which raises the question, was it signed off at all??

    Has the inspection cover been left under the extension and no provision taken to correctly make sure it's actually accessible at all!

    Hence, has it been signed off? If so, it's got be there somewhere, if not you might be hunting for something which aint there!

    Hi all thanks for the responses!

    Yes we saw the certificate for the completion of the works when we signed the contracts. It would seem likely that the paving was done after the work was signed off.

    Now, where can I hire a metal detector from?!

    If you find out where the inspection chambers are either side of you would yours not be inline within those meaning only a line of slabs to lift at worse?

    Good point in a terrace:T
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    Exactly, the patio would not have formed any part of the BC inspections, they would 99% likely have done it after the extension was signed off;)

    It's highly likely to be if done fairly recently;)

    Not a terrace unfortunately, 3 detached properties (of which 2 are maisonnettes and 1 as a semi detatched) on their own plots - but will try never the less :beer:
