You can save yourself alot of money by doing the digging yourself Joel.That's hard work and you gonna pay for it.

Cheers Cita.

cheers both, the hole is half dug (i gave up once i found pieces of broken pipe!!!)

i'll get onto him in the morning! thanks Woodster.

You can buy flexible rubber collars with oversized jubilee clip style fixings. You may get away with two of these and a length of plastic pipe to replace the broken pipe (i assume it is a clay pipe that has broken).

You can also buy the clay pipe if you prefer. i fitted my own surface water drainage system when i built my extension along with man hole etc etc. Its not as hard as it sounds if you buy the right bits. You will obviously need the diameter of broken pipe. just be aware that the manufacturers tend to use different diameters, so if one yard doesnt have the size another might.

Try talking to your local builders yard about availability of fixings and pipe - you might save yourself some cash. Hardest part is it will be dirty and smelly - but that is what you will be paying for ultimately.
