grey water gully at the other side of a patio door. It was illegally

if the rainwater has a trapped gully it is all going to a combined
system anyway so why bother?....

It has a trapped gulley, but no it is not combined. We have a two pipe
system, one (foul) goes off for treatment, the rain water one just goes
into a stream, then the river untreated.

I found it hard enough getting traps on one pipe systems without getting
traps on two pipe systems......

Er, some confusion somewhere...

There are two large diameter (9"?) pipes which run through all of the
back gardens of the street. One carries away foul, the other rain
water. We have a shared rain gully at the front, a shared rain gully at
the back. Both have traps.

Then we have three foul water gullies, each with a trap.

Or recommended by friends and family. If no-one from checkatrade goes
out to see the standard of the work then the reviews can become somewhat
meaningless. These organisations get their money from the trade and not
the customer!

I think we all know that

but, really, what is the alternative?

Few people are going to have friends and relatives who have enough history
with trades-people to provide recommendations

It's easy to say, but much harder to achieve in practice
