Just by way of update the part of the connector facing the wall had been drilled in error when being installed, and had then been blanked off with another piece of plastic and then siliconed, when the house was being "built" by whatever cowboys Wainhomes were using at the time . All replaced...

Well the plumber didn't fancy the job and pulled out today- citing concerns over whether the connector was push-fit or solvent. Mentioned building works etc but really??

thanks Rob, v helpful

So, just as a follow-up is there a quicker way to fix. i.e .if the bit of the pipe facing the wall doesn't actually do anything, could that be cut back and "blanked" off robustly?? Just thinking out loud and how to avoid a shedload of disruption

Just to update- the issue now appears to be the boss coupler on the soil pipe that's either cracked/ failed in some way. I mistakenly thought the side of the coupler which didn't have a pipe must've gone into a pipe internally. Clearly that wasn't right. So, it's a pig of a job which can't be...

Think I've discovered the issue which was a complete "doh" moment. Put some food dye in the cistern and ever so slight leak into the toilet bowl. I've taken the flush valve out and reseated it and the leak has virtually stopped and there is a bit of pitting/ unevenness on the rubber seal at...

Correct- flexi hose that connects when turned off stops the leaking. Gray supply checked a few times when water on and off, and no signs of any leaking. Thanks for your help! However I can also prise the pipe leading into the OSB by a couple of mm and that causes a couple of drops to form...

Sorry double post

Correct- when the flexible pipe is turned off, it does connect to the bottom of the toilet cistern, and, yes, the leak stops. Noted re the gray supply pipe, have checked for any signs of water and there's nothing leaking. Re the blank boss- I can prise the pipe away a good couple of mm from...

Thanks, three pics as follows- the first shows the feed pipe going up through the floor which is linked to the isolation vale in pic 3. Pic 2 shows the top grey pipe being the pipe which leads from the isolation valve to underneath the floor. Hope this helps.

Thanks again to everyone for their suggestions. I've checked the flush valve and reseated it. No signs of corrosion etc on the flapper bit. No leak from brass valve/ washer. Put food dye in toilet water tank and no leakage to bowl. Looking again at the small pipe going into the "wood wall"...

Hi Trojanhawrs- I'm turning the water supply off by turning off via the flexible hose in the bathroom itself. And, correct- the toilet bowl is still full, water turned off, and the leaking stops. What could it be if not the soil pipe? Cheers

Thanks, Tincup - I did check that kink and no water looks to be coming from it- will have another look though.

Hi all, Been in our house for about 10 years and noticed a damp patch on the wall in our utility room which is directly underneath the bathroom. Took some of the wet ceiling board off and had a look up. The source of the leak is the soil pipe (not sure if right terminology) which then has a...

Well that's unanimous. Thanks all.

Hi, moved into a new build, and I've never seen a sink waste pipe flow upwards? As I know very little about plumbing does this look right?? Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the reply, I'll take a look.

Hi, thanks for your reply... no, not too close to the wall, it's that the waste pipe from the sink is approx 6"" beneath the inlet tap, and that's not enough clearance for the hose from the dishwasher to be flush when connecting.

Hi, several hours later and at the risk of wrecking something here is my post. Bought a dishwasher with an aqua stop device fitted on it, didn't realise it would be an issue however I can't get it to connect to the cold fill hose due to the device getting in the way. I've tried nudging both...
