I'm having my drive done; Tarmac with block paved edges.
When the grabber drove over the manhole it partially caved in. One course of brick and a lot of concrete fell in. So they were going to rebuild it. I have to say, they did a good job of clearing and flushing the drain.
Came home... saw the manhole... thought "that doesnt look right" so I got a spirit level and a measure out. The manhole is 1 foot away from the nearest edge yet its 55mm higher and at an angle, different angle to the drive. Obviously, it's not their finest work.
I thought I'd check how they had rebuilt it. They've used the block paving bricks and lots of mortar. Is this ok? I know those bricks are way narrower and thinner than the old ones. Will they stand the test of time?
