One plumber did the bath and basin. Another did the outside waste pipe run and pipe combining. No warning and can’t get the outside person back.

Hi again. I’ve eventually removed the bath panel to view the bath trap. Would an anti siphon trap work here and resolve the issue? Pipe run is very tight. See pics. Thanks everyone for the advice thus far.

Definitely getting siphoned. The two waste pipes combine on the outside wall as seen in 1st pic. Gravity then kicks in. The basin siphon is working as I can hear it in action.

Hi again. Took the first step of changing the pedestal trap. The basin is draining far better now. However the bath trap is still getting siphoned. Next step will be to remove the bath panel and check if it the trap is shallow.

Thank you. I’m going to give that a go. Will report back in the next two weeks.

We had a hopper before and it constantly filled with leaves even though we had a grill on it. Hepvo I’ll look into it.

Thanks for that. Will check it out.

Thanks. That may well be the best option. Would the two verticals each need an air break at their respective tops? It should be easy enough to tee them in if needed.

Thanks again. Appreciate your input. Some of the edges on the leftover paint, of which there are 100s, could be 2mm. Most are less than 1mm. I thought these might have been sanded.

Thanks for getting back to me. The thing is this is our painters work and he’s putting a second coat on next week. He’s saying there’s nothing he can do. I don’t have the knowledge to challenge him.

Hi all Need some advice please. We started painting the house. The old paintwork had bubbled quite a bit. This was scraped off and was painted over as you can see in the pictures. It doesn’t look great. What’s the most economical way to get it looking smooth again? And would a plasterer or...

@denso13 thank you very much for the guidance and taking the time out. Will order that.

Hi, I’m installing a basin and would love to have a chrome bottle trap. The basin is being recessed into a partition wall. Getting a compatible trap and waste pipe is proving difficult. Would these three work together...
