Hello there,
Please could I have confirmation from anyone or even a plumber that knows how to interpret Part H. I have read and re-read some Q&A's on here but would like to know if possible what is correct. I wasn't around when our building inspector came and he hasn't called me back with my query today.
We are having an en-suite fitted in our detached 1960's bungalow. The plumber says he is fitting a Durgo valve to the WC. The existing bathroom, up stream, definitely does not have an existing soil vent pipe to air anywhere and I don't think the inspector was aware of that. Where it is no-one knows. Can he fit the durgo valve or does he have to fit a vent pipe up through the roof somewhere? I have read that when a SVP is fitted it should be on the first one in the run ie in the existing bathroom. Any advice will be well received please.
Thanks
