Compression joints - I'm not sure. Builder said he would get his plumber to start again if I've concerns with copper pipes in screed (the duct tape did have gaps still showing the copper... I went over it myself with tape !) So pipes are now running along wall ... His other plumber6 said...

The black pipe is an overflow pipe from Bathroom (been there since bathroom fitted). The piper runs out onto the path, no drain. Small white pipe, condensing pipe from Boiler (there since boiler installed) The builder just eplaced all the pipes which were already there. Cut down the height...

Radiator Copper pipes chased along edge of floor Left copper exposed untill I mentioned it will deteriorate under screed, so wrapped in duct tape and laid screed on top. I wasn't happy as no guarantee all the cooper pipe was covered so now agreed he would run pipes along wall but they no...

Outside Electric Plug Box ... concerned about loose cable ?

Close up of brick work & pipes

Thank you Harry

Yes, I have his home address but he is moving soon. Just spoke to Builder, I explained my concerns & he said ..... His bricky is very competent and the new row of bricks at the side of the window is correct. The wood & hardboard on the inside ok. Insulation he don't know if its been done...

Searched everywhere... Company name, builders name, address..... Nothing !!! Except a previous building company he was joint owner of and has resigned.

Thanks again for all your replies. I'm just checking if limited company

I'm sat here in bits as i paid the builder for the work he had completed (which I thought was correct). Thankfully I did draw up a contract listing jobs, price etc and he signed it.... is that any help trying to retrieve my money back ?

Reply to your last message... It used to be the edge of the window where the added bricks have been built. Yes it was timber frame with hardboard on the inside.

Thank you for your advice. The Lintel is the original concrete and steel. The outside is covered in plastic clad to match the window. I had cavity wall insulation all around the house but they did not put any in the doorway when it was being bricked up. You are correct regarding the vent...

I did see the brickwork being done, I had no idea it was wrong. The side of the window and the back door were bricked up. I've attached a few pics to show brickwork I'm stirring away from my original question.... hope thats ok !

Similar type of website.... I thought I was doing a safe option with vetted trades

Andy165 .... No it was not cheap (unfortunately). I found them on a reputable website !!!

I'll speak with the builder now I've gained the knowledge (thanks to you both) about the problems with the extractor ducting and waste pipes.... I'll keep you posted on the outcome ! Thank you again for taking the time to help me

Apologies so many questions.... The vent outside which has been installed upside down.... Is that the correct vent to use ? Looking on Screwfix the vents look different

The extractor uses a 150mn pipe and It advises in the booklet not to use a Reducer but the builder explained there is no option as limited space in the wall. Is this correct ?

I really appreciate both your advice and .... its helping me understand what the builder has done wrong and how he needs to correct it

Forgive my ignorance (or stupidity) would you be able to send me links or pictures of an example of a rigid pipe please ?
