Hi
IN MY SECOND YEAR OF NVQ2, with only 1 years site experience.... varied work.
Ive been asked to do a bathroom suite for a friend of a friend. Part of this entails moving the toilet. After looking at the soil pipe i thought the best course of action was to change the cast soil to a plastic one...
Either connecting into the soil with a cast to plastic insert or using one of those rubber collars.
Unfortunately they do not want to pay out to have the stack changed. My initial response was well i would wait until you have the extra cash and then have it done.
MY QUESTION is......... can you carefully remove the length of cast pipe out of the branch from the main stack to the toilet? and then put a new piece of plastic soil into the old branch and pack/seal the gap.
I think removing the old pipe out of the branch may need some filling/ cement removing.
Any advice would be really appreciated.
