I should have been a bit clearer, I get the 3/4 olive, it's the suggestion of a 22mm compression for a pipe that's 26.9mm OD. I will do some googling in the meantime. Replacing the pipe isn't an option as that involves digging up the driveway and a heap of pain.

Thanks all, Super helpful! I have a confession, I've done the classic thing of a one inch pipe, is NOT one inch... So having measured it with a tape measure (I don't have a set of verniers at the moment), it's around 26mm which puts it inline with 3/4 Inch Alkathene...

Good Morning, The previous owners started to utilse the space underneath the stairs as storage and I want to open it up a lot more. I have the following challenges: 1) The stairs creak underfoot. 2) You will see from the images its a mess and the classic a block of wood and more nails will do...
