Thanks both, It is a new bathroom and stack so not even any room for excuses around having to fit with existing plumbing. Will see where we get to with the installers but as you’ve both observed if you are willing to install like that in the first place then you aren’t a decent tradesperson so I...

Thanks Hugh, As you rightly observe it's now all a massive amount of faff because of the original installer... sad state of affairs with no comeuppance for the cowboys. On your suggestions: - It's quite tight to get into the 90 degree bosses as the boxing in is only around 180 mm off the...

Thanks Hugh, This is what I feared as the plumbers have done some other bits that also seem wrong, such as an under sink manifold which sits at a lower level than the output pipe from its p-trap.
