I am in the process of reclaiming some space in our utility room which has meant removal of an old shower cubicle which we never use (previous owners used it for their dogs!)
This means that I need to cover over the old drain pipe which is a vertical plastic waste pipe in the concrete floor, which goes to a gulley somewhere under the rest of the concrete floor in this utility room. At the moment in extends about 4 inches into the air, but obviously I can cut this down to floor level.
Qustions are Would it be safe just putting some concrete down this pipe, as there must be a bend somewhere just below the surface? Should I cap it off with something and then concrete over that? I need to cover it as the shower cubicle area is about half an inch lower than the rest of the room.
The main points are that the whole of the room is a concrete floor with quarry tiles over most of it. I was planning to level everywhere to the same height as the quarry tiles and then lino the whole room.
Any suggestions from the most useful group on Usenet most welcome.
