Charge Lee for the tools and bits

Pics of where it's leaking rather than a wide angle of patch and bucket might help!

It's leaking from the end of the black pipe, thanks. I understand that you have to have a vent, which is where the white pipe enters the black one.

Those dangling cables don't look very professional.
Just thought I'd mention it!

The only dangling cable is the white one off the top pump, which was a last minute relocation due a design problem by the M&E muppets

Put a washing machine trap onto the end of the waste and reroute the condense into that. Discharge pipe will also go all over the floor in there if it lets by.

Thanks for the advice. As it happens, I asked the installer to come back and extend the black pipe, which he did today. The vent between the white and black pipes is now three or four feet off the floor, well above the level of the shower tray next door.
