I would have thought it was asking for trouble feeding an external gulley into a pipe under the foundations, which will presumably be concreted over. But you have to do what the boss wants. Somebody else's problem if it goes wrong in the future. Not a nice site but as usual you make the best of it 👍

Houses built in the UK since 1970 couldn’t have lead mains pipe. Owners of houses built before then are responsible for replacing any lead pipes but only is they want to! Simple enough process but comes at a cost so many, like myself, don’t bother as risk of lead poisoning is very low or non existent if pipes are undamaged and in regular use! When I eventually resurface/replace my driveway I’ll install new EPDM (plastic) mains then

Chaps, Some jobs are just like that........An awkward cuss of a job - and you know instinctively as soon as you roll up on site, that its going to be a stinker....!! Following someone else`s work that is poorly built, tight site and lack of room to work properly, materials missing, additional work......and on it goes. "Dont worry- the Brickie will get over it," they say. Sometimes it`s just a long hard slog. And that is the epitome of the building game......! On a different note, I wonder what the life expectancy of those trench blocks is...? I know what the manufacturers say, but I wonder how long they last in the real world.? I can remember doing brick footings, 16 or 18 courses of hard burnt stocks, two spreader courses off of a concrete base, then upto D.P.C in either English Bond or Header bond solid work, slurry grouted every 4th course. Proper brick footings designed and built to last. Completely different now of course....! Happy days.🥴🧱🧱😁👍
