200 to existing, this is pic of the outside, if it’s al push fit it should just angle down giving me a slight fall. Does the outside look like push fit? Is there a noticeable difference between that and solvent weld

yes pan on new toilet is 175mm to middle and existing is 200, toilet will be sat on plywood and vinyl bringing it up slightly but I planned on removing some of the wall and skirting under existing pipe so I can angle it further down as you can see it has a fair decline, I’m hopeful that I can...

yep just worried if it was partly in the wall it would cause problems if it leaked as I would be unaware, also other Soil pipes I have seen they all use a male going into a female then into another female etc and thought this was so water flowed through without sitting in seals, which could go...

Would filler crack once it’s all been primed and painted? I have been looking at the vids on taping and filling but concerned that the join will be visible due to being proud because of the tape and filler. I was unlucky with the size needed as I’m plaster boarding the top meter of the room and...

thanks for the reply, as you can see in the pic below there is a pipe that sticks out so far, my concern was that a single socket elbow would be too short and the elbow piece would not align with the pan elbow and my other concern was that if I used a double elbow then there is a leak factor...

When fitting two bits of plasterboard butt up to each other can I just use filler in the join line and screw heads, plan on painting this, from reading various posts I’m under the impression I should be using tape after filling but is this just if you are skimming the entire board as the tape...

I have a 110 soil pipe that connected onto my toilet with the use of a straight pan connect and then goes into a branch/tee on the outside wall, moving the toilet a metre to the left would I need to fit a double socket elbow to the existing pipe or do I need to remove that bit of pipe and fit a...

Anyone else with some advice?

yep get that so if I go for having a horizontal pipe inside boxed would the process be 1) disconnect vertical soil pipe where it goes into the straight coupler and the basin and bath pipes . 2) cut 40mm off the branched section I just removed 3) chisel brickwork where existing pan was 40mm down...

Also agree with solvent welding basin pipe that is under floor board and to be under the toilet, it needs modifying anyway as it currently has a shower trap on there as well although there was no shower in there when I moved in so who ever ripped it left in the connection.

Thanks Hugh Jaleak, yes initially I was planning on replacing the bend with a branch and going through the wall but then thought about running the pipe from the pan to the existing outlet internally and boxing in. The only issue with that is getting the gradient of 1:40 so it would still require...

Hi I'm wanting to fit a new toilet and relocate the soil pipe n the bathroom and after some advice about doing so. The current soil pipe is as shown: I'm assuming that the pipework is just push fit together and not glued in? And what we have on the inside is as shown: The distance from the...

We intend to tile the walls and boxing in would make sense to save on the work especially as there are some radiator pipes there that feed the next room. We want to move the radiator as well so the boxing in could hide the pipe work for this as well. Not sure how the boxing in would look as...

Hi thanks for the reply, the bath was a corner bath that took up too much room and needed replacing, now that we have removed the bath we would like the bath along the wall instead of in the corner and as such the pipes are no longer concealed by the curved bath panel that was there. Want to...

Before my time, although whoever removed the shower left it in lol

Anyone with a suggestion? I've uploaded the pics now :)

Hi Currently in the process of modernising the bathroom, one of the things we want to do is move the bath supply pipes that run width ways, wanted to cut this in the centre and put an elbow on and run lengthways 1.5mtr but after removing some floor boards Ive found there is a metal girder/beam...

could be anything lol, when I doing my kitchen up I noticed that there were four wires wired from my cooker isolator as well as the cooler load cable. The isolator is about 3mtr away from the cellar line, I asked an electrician who told me to disconnect them as it was not safe and that only the...

Wondered if there was some kind of ultrasonic/x ray device that could check this, bet it is expensive though for a survey

Also where the wall of the cellar was there is now a porch/hallway there so air bricks could have been there but now covered up with a hallway.
