Can a main service pipe to a property be partially installed above ground
I have an iron main water pipe serving our property but flats have been built over the pipe so the pipe is situated under our neighbours drive way. Bristol water have said we can cap the iron pipe off and divert it up into our property and connect it to an internal stop tap. The pipe would come out of the ground and would need a white external box connected to it to then run through our home. It’s the first time I’ve ever have come across this issue within thesny years of living in my property the work to replace a pipe under a concrete slab foundation doesn’t sound cheap. What are my options was Bristol water safe to say this obviously they know their stuff more than me. I’m neurodivergent and I am highly anxious about the repairs and cost I can’t sleep at night the noise is triggering I keep thinking the worse can someone please reply

can I install a bath onto walled tiles?
I've a wet room all tiled but I want to put a p bath in under the shower onto the walls. I don't want to have to redecorate, just install the bath. One plumber said he would seal it ato the tiles, another said you have to fix it to the wall not the tiles. He went on to say taking one row of tiles off may damage the next tiles and it'd be best having "mermaid" bath panels on the wall to fix the bath to. Which plumber is right? Thanks
