Hi
I am having work done on a house, we bought it with most of a first fit in and have been gradually finishing off over that past 18 months. Our final job is the ensuite off the master bedroom, originally the soil pipe ran from one end of the room to the other inside. We have now had this removed so that it runs straight out of the building from the toilet.
On the outside of the house there was a main soil pipe which is connected to the house bathroom and had been connected to this soil pipe. however there was also an unused soil stack (i think that is the correct term) much closer to the new point that the new soil pipe was exiting the building.
The guys doing the work have connected to this, however I thought that they would have to put in a vent pipe to this separate soil pipe which they haven't, and have told me that there is no need for one.
Is this correct? Seems a bit odd to me, as not sure how it can work being on a completely separate down pipe!
Any advice or if you could point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks
K
