Hi,
After discovering my first floor en-suite floor soaked in water and a drip coming through the ceiling directly below I eventually removed all the pipe boxing behind the WC and found it was the waste pipe connection that was loose.
I have now refitted the connection and it seems tight and secure so hopefully problem solved.
What alarms me though, is two-fold:
1) Waste pipe from WC to soil pipe has a rise on it. Surely this cannot be right!
2) Rubber gasket fitting at connection of pan to waste appears to have been attached wrong way round.
I attach a photo to show the two issues. I would appreciate some feedback before I take my issues to the housebuilder.

This photograph shows how the waste pipe is rising into the soil pipe connection. It also shows...
