Just to help tie in new concrete where I've removed pipe

Thanks Conor , thatis what's worrying me ,I'll definitely divert the drain and then take the old one out , I think I'll drill some stainless steel rods into the concrete and fill in the corner . Thanks for your help.

Thanks everyone for your advice. And an answer to an earlier question. I've had the building inspector out twice and he's very happy with what's been done. Just made this slight error.

Thanks Redbeard. Yes more worried about weakening the footing. Suppose it doesn't matter how bent the pipe is as its a land drain. Reckon I should take out the old drain and mass fill it if I'm bending pipe round the corner?

Thanks pro dave ,do you think it's worth digging down and changing to pvc on the corner and filling round with concrete . Like said , dontl want to be worrying about it constantly. Thanks again

Thanks ProDave. House is on corner plot. Back garden backs on to another back garden.

Thanks for your replies. One end of the pipe points to the road and one end points to the back of the garden. Doesn't point to any houses. The original house is a spread footing, 2 course of brick dip and sat on a thin course foundation. The house drains are just below this. Any Ideas?

I'm pretty sure it's live it was clean when the clay came off . The collar was clear and had never been mortared up .no photo as I didn't femember until everything was up to dpc. It was only when the inlaws started going on about aco drains and where they could go that I remembered . This I might dig down ,take a short length of pipe out and put a camera up and down it to see where it starts and finishes. I've only been trying to help out ,I'm on a site miles away . Worrying times .I don't want finish it , just for there to be problems later .also the pipe doesn't run under the super structure ,but that's beside the point I've got the spread on the concrete,and worry about anything washing into the pipe.thanks for replying

Because I found it when digging sump hole in foundation, never stopped raining .covered it so nothing fell on as I've done many times before intending to show building inspector and get his advice .And I forgot about it I'm 60 years of age doing an extension for family member . I've been doing building work since I was 16 . I'm not trying to pull the wool over anybody eyes . I made a .mistake and want to rectify it . It's making me ill Thanks again for any advice. It's appreciated.
