Hi Nige, Did as you suggest and i think you were right!! When i lifted the lid on the cistern could definitely smell something that was not very nice!! Cant say what it was though.... fingers crossed smell now goes away.

do you mean bleach in the cistern or in the pan?? Why would i need to add bleach in the cistern?

hi all, the smell is definitely coming from inside the pan. All around connections no smell at all!! Here are some photos, fall is same as the old toilet which was installed with no problems. Look forward to hearing back from people as to possible other thoughts? All other traps in...

hi all, after doing some reading around on the internet i reckon the pan has a hole in it somewhere and is allowing the gas to seep through the holes where the water flows through? Does the above sound reasonable? Is there any way to prove it?

Hi thanks for the quick reply. All drains plugged in properly. It did not smell at 1st, its definitely coming from inside the toilet as i had a good sniff all around the bathroom including on the connection of the pan to the drain and all seems fine there. Just rolled a load of loo roll up...

Hi All, Here again, in process of fitting new suite and sink and toilet fitted and plumbed in. Last couple of days the bathroom has a bad drain smell, really struggled tracking it down, but my conclusion is the smell is seeping through the water inside the bottom of the toilet?? The back...

Do i need to vent if i have a surrey flange?

Hi, i agree with you but.... i also have to buy a long masonry drill and thought with the core i could kill two birds with one stone. The vertical soldier bricks are just a feature of the outside brickwork and extends around the whole perimeter of the house. I will have a think about how...

Hi thank you all for your comments so far!! Very helpful. I just took a look outside and where the existing vent exits it is on a set of bricks which lay vertically instead of horizontal, so i guess with the old hole i will just have to remove the surrounding previously cut bricks and replace...

OK i think i know what i need to do. Just out of interest i assume that i am not going to affect the strength of the house by cutting effectively almost a 200 x 100 oval out of both the internal and external walls?

Hi thanks for the replies so far, If i were to cut a new hole in the correct place the holes would only overlap by say 20mm on a 100mm size hole
