waste

Hi all, Had a blockage in the soil stack which I’ve now cleared via an inspection chamber next to the toilet. Have realised the reason for the block is because the shower/sink waste pipe protrudes over half way into the soil stack and is catching a lot of the toilet waste coming from above...

First of all - thanks for reading. I'm an amateur DIYer so please forgive me if I use the wrong terms or just generally sound like I don't have a clue... I basically don't :LOL: I bought a (brand new) new-built house in September 2024 and have had numerous issues with the company - fobbing me...

Can anyone see where this piping is wrong? The w/m waste overflows from time to time. Also comes up Can’t empty sink while washing machine is on. Any info advise much appreciated

Can anyone suggest a filler to fix a hole in the bottom of a Garden Waste Wheelie BIn? Someone was burning old documents and put the ashes in it some where still hot though even after 24 hrs...

Please could you tell me what type of sink waste is this in the photo since we need a replacement? It belongs on the draining board and the hole is about 30mm or 1.1/4 inches. Thanks

I’m installing a waste pipe for my shower, with the pipe running about 600mm to the center of the tray, where it will connect to the trap. I’ve read a fall of 1 cm per every 40cm is adequate. What is the best method to ensure the correct slope has been reached for proper drainage? I’m using...

We're currently in the process of renovating our kitchen and my wife found a big old sink on Facebook marketplace that she wants installing but I am having a difficult time finding a waste and trap that will fit it. All the wastes I have seen are designed to go straight down through a vertical...

Alright folks. Hopefully, someone can help in regards to venting my waste pipe from a downstairs cloakroom toilet. It comes straight out and down as in the image and the white pipe is my new drainage from the kitchen, however it's not vented. My toilet bowl is filling up and returning to...

Hi all, Wanted some advice on an outside bottle gully that I currently have. At the moment it has 3 appliance waste pipes going into the top of it and a redundant waste pipe on the side (which I want to use for a ACO driveway drain). The outlet feeds direct to the main drain (confirmed by...

Hi all, Hoping for some advice. I'm a self builder and I am about to put in the plumbing for 2 ensuites and a main bathroom. Each has a toilet and it's the waste pipe to soil pipe plumbing that I need a little help with. 1 toilet will go up against an outside wall so I'm OK with that one as I...

Attached is a ground floor picture of the soil pipe in our home. There was originally a toilet which has now been permanently capped off and you can also see a sink waste pipe attached. My plan is to drill out one of the 50mm sockets directly opposite the current sink waste for a new 40mm...

I am redoing my downstairs loo. This involves moving the location of the sink so I will add a waste pipe boss behind the loo and I need to block up the old waste pipe feed into the soil pipe under the floor. I thought this would be so pulled out the existing pipe and put in a 40mm plug: The...

I'm putting two bathrooms back to back, with the waste running through the stud wall between the two. In to the 50mm waste I'll have a shower, and three basins drains (one basin is a double) - as pictured. Would you recommend an air admittance valve be put in the wall near the shower end to...

We have inherited a neglected shower in the en-suite with a house we bought recently. Is it possible to replace the manky peeling chrome waste on this Mira shower tray without remove the shower tray? I don't want to try and force it for fear of it coming to pieces and making work for myself...

Hi, I would appreciate your opinions on the best way to proceed with the waste pipes in my bathroom. I've attached photos of the current layout inside and outside. As you can see everything at the moment is lead, which I guess means it was done 50 or so years ago. Pipe 1 is from the basin and...

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...

Hi, I’m wondering what the best course of action is for running my waste from my new kitchen location. I’ll add a photo so it makes more sense but my waste and everything is on the right hand side and I’m moving my kitchen to the party wall side but I need waste for the kitchen sink and the...

Hello all forum members, I've taken bathroom panel this morning and discovered water stain/patch under short boss connector and the bath waste. I've taken it out in order to try and sit it properly and discovered that inbuilt rubber ring has hardened, so it's leaking water. It's one of those...

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...

I'm putting a washing machine waste on the old sink waste 32mm spiggot/push fit collar on the soil pipe. It looks like the old sink 32mm waste going into the soil pipe was cut to length with a broken roof tile, so the seal is shot. The seat in the old grey 32mm collar is different, so a new O...
