We've just bought a new house, built in 1970s, extended in 1980s. Today we pulled up the old carpets and found two drain covers in the hallway in the extended bit of the house, which I assume used to be outside. Is this okay and/or legal? Can we just quietly cover them up again or should we have them looked at? I can't say I fancy having the water board in my hallway pulling up my new oak flooring if anything goes wrong with the local drains! We couldn't get the covers off to see what's underneath, I doubt anyone has touched them in 30 years.
