Finally got round to doing something about it yesterday
Replaced the cracked gully and pipe with some plastic from screwfix, and filled in with a load of different types of gravelly stuff (which, apparently, has to be of specific sizes).
Now I'm faced with the problem of having no idea what to do to finish around the gully.
I don't want to concrete against the wall, but I don'tt want the thing loose either.
I'm thinking of just rebuilding the original brick surrounds up again (but not with all the concrete that was there before) - All it needs to do is keep the water from splashing out, keep everything reasonably stable, and still allow me to take the top off the bottle trap to rod the drain if I need to.
Does that seem sensible?
(The remaining hole will be pea shingle over the pipe, then backfill the rest with earth.)
