• We're going to have a new shower room in our ground floor extension.

    Unfortunately it has to have an inspection chamber for the sewer built in to the floor. Has anyone else had to work around something like this.

    Could we make a feature of it, like this sort of thing?

  • nice for wine, not so nice for turds

    Sure that’s the solution though? Thames Water don’t allow indoor manhole covers, drain should be redirected outside to a new inspection chamber

  • Aren't the inspection hatches usually pressure sealed direct into the drain?

    That's what the conservatory in our old house had.

  • My parents have one in a bedroom which was built into a former cellar space. The room has fitted carpet. If they need access the carpet can be rolled back.

  • I wouldn't be keen on an inspection chamber within my home. Even if double sealing the cover is acceptable technically I still wouldn't want it.

    How sure are you that there isn't a way to redirect the sewer? Presumably there is actually a way to redirect but it requires an intolerable amount of digging and laying new pipework.
