Gully inside conservatory often blocked, can it be removed?

If you can chop away enough concrete to actually get to the pipe, without it cracking, then a McAlpine DC-1 will fit, finned end into existing drain, and 110mm from that as you require.

Ah, so that would go around the pipe instead of outside, right?

When you unblock it, what is the blockage made of?

I never get to see it. Last time I unblocked it as I pushed the pressure washer attachment hose up to the T joint to the main line (about 4m from the gully) so I couldn’t see anything.

Finned end goes inside the existing pipe, socket on other end allows you to continue in 110mm pipe. https://www.screwfix.com/p/mcalpine-push-fit-single-socket-drain-connector-black-110mm/4255v

Is it possible to have the lid of the new plastic gully flush with the existing flooring without having to move the clay pipe? I wouldn’t mind having the sealed lid visible if flush with the tiles, I guess I’m asking if the new gully below floor level could be ‘extended’ so that the lid is higher.

Having thought about this I think I can just install the gully at a low level and then just have an access hatch at floor level with the cover fully tiled according to the pattern of the rest of the room.

My question now is, do I need to install a bottle gully or can I use something like this?

Just to close this off, I went ahead with a soil pipe tee and a rodding point.
I’ve connected the 40mm pipe to the back of the pipe with one of these

And then connected to the clay pipe with

I’ll fit a floor access hatch which is recessed so I can ‘tile it’
