Leaking toilet soil pipe when going into internal wall :(

small holes are ok in iweb joist, look on manufacturers sites for exact limits to where and sizes. Must be worth a very carefully drilled hole there to have a closer look.

Well the plumber didn't fancy the job and pulled out today- citing concerns over whether the connector was push-fit or solvent. Mentioned building works etc but really??

If it is solvent fit, then a repair would be quite easy to do, clean it down and stick on an offcut of pvc over the split or hole...

Not much of a plumber - if certainly looks like it's pushfit but even then - you get in there and have a proper look about, keeping the client informed as to what's possible and what's not as you go along, it's not difficult.

You're better off without him if that's his attitude.
