Hi, I live in a Victorian terraced house. My rear gutter pipe and my toilet soil pipe come out from back of the house and go across a wall and into a drain in the garden. Question I have is whether I can attach my gutter pipe to my toilet waste pipe so I only have one pipe coming across into...
A variation on a common question, I realise, but here goes.
House is 3 storeys, with a soil pipe running internally down all 3 floors andinto the sewer (bottom floor is effectively underground - extremely deep manhole on drive on middle floor to the lowest point – had a couple of nasty backing...

Hi all
My first post and I'm hopefully looking for some advice.
I'm having a conservatory fitted and need to sort out the soil stack. Im going to internally plumb the sink and bath but its the toilet waste I'm struggling with. I've been told a durgo valve will work. Im able to move the...
I have an alcove in the bathroom on wall adjoining a bedroom. This creates a step in the wall on the bedroom side that I'd like to eliminate.
I've realised that the alcove wall is the original house wall (plaster and lathe) and that the reason for the alcove was to box in the soil and pipes and...
Apparently, we have a copper soil pipe with a diameter of approx 900 mm. We are installing a new shower and need to attach waste to the soil pipe, but due to it being made of copper, ii understand that will not be possible. Is there a way to cut the pipe take out a section and insert a plastic...
Hello all.
We live in a 1937 property that had an extension built in the 1990's. Whilst building the extension, the soil pipe was converted into an air admittance valve system. The pipe runs through the house and the vent can be seen about a metre high in the loft. All of our upstairs pipework...
Hi,
We have plans about to go in for a largish extension and I'm trying to understand the foul waste drainage.
On the plans the architect has run a soil pipe horizontally in the ground floor roof void (feeds from first floor ensuite at the rear of the extension which is set back a metre from...
Hi Guys,
I have a small office which I am looking to re-do the toilet of in the sense of the decor and also the toilet, sink etc.
Unfortunately I can't upload any images to show you?
In one corner, there is the soil pipe connection, which comes from the ground from the sewer. There...

Hi all,
1st post!! Have recently noticed the strap on boss on external pipe as a small leak from the underside of where the boss touches the soil pipe, what's the best way to go about fixing this?
It holds the connection to bath waste pipe and the leak isn't anything major but have noticed...
Hi everyone
Going be moving into a house soon.One of the problems I noticed is the toilet soil pipe. It comes through the floor vertically at 260 mm from back wall. The close coupled toilet I want has 300mm from back to start of spigot . Is there any way this will work ?. Toilet is small and...
Hi,
First, I'm not a professional plumber.
I'm moving a wc and sink in my bathroom, which are connected into a 110mm plastic soil pile outside the late victorian building. As the new wc is half the distance from the soil pipe than the old wc, it needs to go into the soil pipe slightly higher...
Hiya fellas been meaning to join up for some time now, just looking for some info on an old soil pipe which has it's base in my garage and what I would guess runs into the sewer mains. The thing that I don't understand most is that it has no connections into the house whatsoever or no bird...
Hi all,
Picture available here:

I'd like to replace this toilet with a close-coupled unit further to the right (so I can actually open the door...), while reducing the boxwork (particularly on the left hand side) as much as...
Hi All,
Our soil pipe comes into the property too far to the left, this means you don’t have enough room when on the toilet and there is a big gap between the toilet and sink.
So we need the toilet moved over to make the suite look more symmetrical. The problem is that the mains pipe is at...
I'm going to have to remove an old Rymway (see my other post ) pushfit fitting from the 110mm stack in my bathroom in order that i can replace it with a more modern fitting that can take a 40mm boss adapter however space is tight and the branch is stuck fast and not willing to pull out.....any...
Hi,
We are having a new Back to wall toilet fitted
with a 'box' built to hide the cistern.
The plumber/bathroom fitter has said he cannot
cut into the old lead soil pipe which will be behind the
pan. if we could cut it back though it would mean this
'box' could be reduced which would be...
Hi all,
Wondering if any of you have opinions of glueing soil fittings directly on to underground soil pipe. I have done it many times with no problems but today I did a job where I glued in a low level boss pipe onto red pipe. The builder spotted it and mentioned that you can't do that. Is he...
