I've got a customer that has a leaking trap on his bathroom basin.
The trap and pipe work is quite old and made out of metal. Due to poor access and everything being painted I could not confirm which metal it was or what size. It looked roughly the same size as 32mm plastic.

Question I was asked today:
How come you can fit a kitchen sink waste straight from the trap to the main soil waste directly underneath but if the waste is in a different position like in the corner of the kitchen it needs a soil/vent/durgo?
Same situation with a toilet. Some, (bungalow for...
