soil pipe

I'm planning on moving the toilet in my bathroom along a bit from where it currently sits, but I also need to move my soil pipe vent since it now comes out too close to my new loft velux window. Because of this it I think it makes sense to just move the soil pipe hole to where the new toilet...

Hi there, I'm installing a new toilet in upstairs bathroom, trying to connect the pan to the soil pipe and it looks like the soil pipe is cracking (it's probably 30+ years old at least). It's solvent welded in place, how best can I remove and replace? Thanks

Hi, I'm new here. We're redoing our bathroom and would like to join toilet waste on one side of a branch, and a conjoined bath and basin on the other side. The regs say this is iffy with a non-swept junction. Would a swept junction like this work if we put a 50mm to 110m offset adapter like...

Hello. I'm looking for some advice about a neighbour's outbuilding. The neighbour has built an outbuilding (which is their right of course) but have also connected a soil pipe from the outbuilding all the way down the garden to then join the sewerage system on a shared passageway. The trench...

I need to replace a toilet due to a cracked cistern. I notice the pan connector appears to be what looks like solvent weld type, correct me if I'm wrong. Can the same connector be used on the new toilet or is it best to replace the pan connector as I'm not sure I can find another toilet where...

I am replacing a traditional toilet with a Grohe frame and I need to replace the existing waste connection (see pic below) with the one that comes with the Grohe frame. The connector goes down into the concrete floor and I have no visibility of where it goes/ how it connects. If I just yank it...

Hi everyone. I am fitting a new downstairs toilet. However the soil pipe from the upstairs toilet is 4 meters away on the same wall. How much drop will I need in cm? For obvious reasons I don't want to get this wrong. Thanks in advance.

Hello I am about to start my tiling in my upstairs bathroom which I delayed from last year. I just made a quick sketch of my drainage plan. Please see below, is it all good for Uk Regs. My Building Officer told me that it is best to use 50mm. then connect your 40mm pipes to it. Using riding...

I have a soil stack in my attic that I discovered is open. I fitted a Durgo AAV but this caused gases to build up and leak out from the bath p trap. I took the Durgo off and the smell stopped. So I'm thinking I need to vent the soil stack externally. My roof is asymmetrical, it rises to the top...

Just wondering if I can get some advice. I have removed the old toilet, shower and wash basin and the lead soil pipe that ran under the floorboards and out to the soil stack on the exterior. I have cut the soil stack using an angle grinder and know that I need a rubber connector for the old pipe...

Hi, I am planning to swap the location of my kitchen and dining room and the best route for the greywater would be into existing rainwater gulleys - with a short extension. It is a house from the early 30s so the rain and soil pipe already combine before entering a combined sewer running...

Hello, long time lurker/first time poster here. Basically I've had to remove (and will hopefully replace..) the cast iron soil pipe on our early 60s semi. The old one came down without too much trouble but before starting I noticed the collar on the clay pipe was cracked. Sadly the crack turned...

I’m not a plumber firstly, but here goes. I’m doing a loft conversion, the new bathroom toilet is directly above the existing downstairs toilet. The plastic soil pipe in the downstairs concrete floor comes up about 9 inches from the wall. (I don’t want to take the soil pipe through an outside...
