You have a RWP that will need renewing - no historic paint down the back, and a gulley thats well accessible for testing.
Paint glove ? A fitch maybe ?Madrab,
You are right about the paint on the brickwork - I missed that. But how did they intend to get behind the pipe, even with a paint glove?
FWIW: The majority of CI RWP's & soil stacks I've dropped have rotted at the unpainted back.
Re : the soil pipe - you take pedantry and hair splitting to the next level. The lintel is no more dangerous than your visions of dry rot. The only danger is posters taking your pontification seriously.If the soil pipe you refer to in post #24 is the pipe by the neighbour's door, then its not "next to the RWP"?
I also notice the "lintel" over the gap hardly has bearing - its dangerous.
