Ten bob says there won't be enough space around the 22mm runs to get 22mm speedfit tees in.

And the downstairs rads are surely connected to the new systempipework or are you saying they are no longer working?

you need to look under the floorboards downstairs. one pipe system should be obvious then.

If plastic pipe was at serious risk of widespread rodent damage the market for it would n't exist.Also washing machine hoses have been rubber/plastic coated for years.What do our copper lovers have to say about those?Since there is no realistic alternative what do they suggest?.And What about...

As a general rule yes it's best to avoid flexis but in your case it would provide less restriction to the removal of solids than your swan neck connector.

As an alternative to the swan neck pan connector you could try a long 90° Flexi. that would give you a bit of wiggle room and be less restrictive than the swan neck one.

You recommend putting a chamber in where you've drawn the blue circle? But ok to keep the arrangement I've currently got With the two toilets going into the main run together? Or have I misunderstood? Unfortunately that gas pipe follows the same route all the way down to the road so I'm not...

There is no chamber where that branch connects to the main run and i can see it's going to be pretty unlikely to be able to fit one there because of the gas pipe running just above the 45° junction in the close-up picture.That was really the motive for my post in the first place because I knew I...

Got some pipes in temp.Excuse the wrong colour pipe. This arrangement will have rodding access for the main stack through an access pipe indicated on the photo and the ground floor toilet will have a screw down end cap on top of the branch that goes through the wall. Was considering adding a...

My understanding of it may be wrong but I was led to believe that the approved inspector( in lieu of council building control officer) can and does issue the final certificate once building work is completed to their satisfaction.I wasn't given to believe that Building Control themselves would...

That's helpful. thanks very much. BCO incidentally was from a private company( not council) and she's already passed this drainage work. This was only after I flagged up the first effort with her as I wasn't happy with the work -No granular bed was used, fall was not consistent along the run or...

That last photo is the downstream end (in front garden nearest road) and the main plastic run joins into the clay drain just off the bottom of the photo. The chamber is a 300 mm one with four outlets. Am i best off to put the chamber on the corner where the 90° elbow is present and plug the...

Thanks for the detailed comments and suggestions. A very good point about that 90 bend at the downstream end. It has been bugging me and No idea why he didn't use 2x 45's there tho' he did put an inspection chamber in next to it (as per below photo) albeit there is an old emulsion bucket there...

Question re-the above. Going to fit a downstairs WC which will be sited roughly the other side of the wall adjacent to where the short vertical piece of soil pipe is in the first picture. I don't want to do it as a stub stack (which was the original plan) as I've now got foul waste from a first...

well to remove the tap you turn the water off.turn back on again and discharge water into a bucket.You may need to cut pipe back and fit an elbow.
