Hi all
I am not a professional, however I am a handy bugger I think.
After the conversion of a garage to an actual internal room, there is now an external unsealed manhole cover in the centre of the room, around 4 inches below the new floor level.
It is approx 750 x 500 in size.
The cover emits the smell of the drainage.
All of the work was done by previous owners who used celotex roof insulation to raise the floor...... Yeah I know!
What my thought is, if I were to use the existing manhole cover as a base, cut an inspection cover size hole into it on risers, and then concrete it all in to existing floor height, would this be both legal and strong enough? I would rebar the concrete to the original floor height.
Hope that makes sense!
