That is a typical bathroom job done by a builder !!! Not sure also but looks like waist is running up ?
MI have seen few bathrooms installs like this in Ruislip London done by a " plumber " , that is what the customer is
let to believe

Can't be a builder there's no polytetrafluoroethylene on the isolation valves.

 

[Kyle87]

Definitely done by a plumber. But a bad one. The cold feed to those taps runs straight up from the kitchen and its vis able all the way up until it goes through the ceiling. Airing cupboard is half done in plastic. 15 mm push fit looks bad but in my opinion 22mm push fit looks even worse. Terrible job

And I'd lay a fiver that's a flexy pipe from the pan outlet. And the Dunny is piped in barrier from below. Yep the waste is going uphill so that'll be blocked by now. And he cut the hole with a 50mm core so there's a nice draught through there. The customer probably thinks it looks the terrier's testicles.

@kyle87 - Where you drunk when you took that pic?

 

[Kyle87]

Wasn't drunk. I've only got one leg and left the prosthetic one at home

The house is actually a relative's of my Missus. They've only been in a year. The plumber the owner had before is obviously a joke. There's other things round the house that are bad. The kitchen ceiling has a ruff looking plywood board screwed into it where the shower trap is too low and had to cut into ceiling below.
The drain valve at the lowest point is buried in the wall so I used one of those self cutting isolation valves to drain system then cut that section out and replaced with a new drain valve.
Cowboys really make a plumbers job hard

I was going back to hide it with the pedestal - honest

 

[Kyle87]

If you were going to use plastic you would surely have the decency to hide it!!
And if you can't hide it, don't use it!!

 

[Keefy]

What's the purpose of these 127 metre flexis anyway? I've never understood what they're intended use is.

I remember Roger Bisby writing in a trade magazine that he runs up behind pedestals in 10mm plastic, as it's easy to hide behind the pedestal, and flexible enough to run straight up to the taps. I thought it wasn't a bad idea to be honest, though I've not ever done it myself.

I haven't had to run pipes up from the base of a pedestal for a long time, (a couple of years) as quite often in new bathrooms, I'm chasing my pipework in, or running it in the new stud work, or just fitting floating, vanity or other types of basins.

Nor me, I use wireless water.

 

[Dannypipe]

Yeah, it's very handy that stuff.

The two on the right are the last two bathrooms we did. (both finished the week before last) The first photo is possibly the last standard basin with a pedestal I fitted. Really don't do many these days.

Only kidding btw, I think it's a good idea.

Give em plenty Jase, if the customer is paying £500 a joint, it's the least they deserve!!! LOL.

[jase158]

10mm behind pedistals is fine just cable tie it to the waste
