Hi,
Took up a pine floor over screed for an insurance claim after a leak in the central heating in the floor. They found the leak and will reinstate. But when the floor was up, discovered this, what I now know is a, double sealed inspection cover, with a recessed lid. Because the extension is 20-30 years old I figure now is a good time to check the cover.
Have dynorod round tomorrow for a "free quote" on inspection and replacement of the cover.
Some questions:
1) Do they fail over time? Definite smells in the room from time to time
2) You can hear err transit (water running), will a new cover be quieter? Can I add a layer below tiling to silence it?
3) The old floor went right over the cover. Does it matter if we tile over it, or over a new one? Other than inconvenience should it need to be opened up obvs
Any comments much appreciated, cheers!
Edit: please note this is technically a shared private branch
