Moving Waste Costs

Credit-Crunched

I am purchasing a new property and I am looking at squaring off the property which will increase the bathroom and kitchen area nicely.

Would anyone have any ball park figures on moving the waste to the left of the property away from the area I am proposing to extend. It will more on the side access path as opposed to the middle of the existing patio.

Location South West Wales if that makes a difference

Does that manhole only take waste from your property? If it's part of a daisy chain from other properties it may not be as straightforward as you think.

Thanks for the prompt response, I assume this will be available on the searches that my solicitor will undertake?

Or can I request this information from welsh water?

In the searches, yes. The CON29DW. There should be a diagram of what is public.

If you open the inspection chamber you could probably work it out yourself based on the location of your neighbours manholes, your own sources of waste water and where the water goes when some is flushed through.

If you're conversing with builders etc, you're talking about moving the inspection chamber rather than the waste. It confused me.

Thanks all - Very much appreciated!

Is it different to move the inspection chamber ?

If it's a public sewer you will need to get permission from the water co to build over & if they say no then it's a no

The OP may not need to build over if they can move the sewer far enough from the foundations. From the diagram, this looks like what they propose to do, but the extent of their property isn't shown and the practicality of re-routing is an unknown.

Right update - I have lifted the cover and it appears to be a feeder. The three inlets are from my property, with the fourth from a drain attached to my house, no other 'ins'. Welsh Water have confirmed (as much as they could without a survey) that the only drains they have are 1 & 2 which are not being moved / touched.

Bump - Thanks all

So, to clarify, it's a soil pipe from toilet/bathroom which is being moved, not the manhole. Is that correct? If the existing manhole is now going to be within the property it will need to have a sealed cover of some sort unless you are planning to seal it permanently and pray you never get a blockage.
