    External soil pipe leaking at seal

    Just had a thought, it the cast has perished badly, the other options are. 1) use a rubber band coupling high level (not sightly) 2) cut the cast out low level and renew it up in plastic.

    Combi vs Open Vent for 3 Bed family home

    System boiler and unvented cylinder for me. Worcester is pants and way over priced. Viessmann 200w system with HO1A controller and a 170-200l cylinder. Pressure and flow rates need to be checked either way. Best of both worlds with this setup HTH

    Can a soil pipe be vented like this?

    Richard no insult taken buddy. So the 1 1/2 pipe which goes to your bath is extended past the bath and then travels up ? A quick drawing would be good. How long is the run from the stack to the bath? It sounds like you may have secondary ventillation....

    Curved shower screen, glass fell out
