The cheaper stuff like floplast is ok if internal. Outside I'd use a better brand as the colour will last longer and be alittle stronger. Use pushfit not solvent, just file edges, clean and plenty of silicone grease. Not the soray can stuff it drys up.
Thanks
 
I also suspect that Wolseley price is a web price for the general public and you'd get a better price in branch. Quite why the merchants think it's helpful to give false online prices is beyond me. After all, I tend to do quotes in the evening when merchants are closed and their websites are then beyond useless if they show the wrong price, even though I have trade accounts.
Hi I eventually managed to find a place online Called Pryces in Lowestoft Osma fittings at reasonable prices ( No pun intended )

Hi can I ask why push fit only ? ….its just Im running the soil pipe between the Dormer front wall ( ive allowed extra depth ) its tight going up through the eaves so I was going to use solvent as they have a smaller profile with a branch off to the toilet ( about 500-600) mm outside ive used push fit at junctions to allow for a little expansion
 
I recently discovered that where I am there's 2 types/grades of soil pipe, one is used above ground and one is for below ground. There's a substantial price difference between them as well. This might not be the case in the UK however.
 
The one for below ground in the UK is usually coloured orangey-brown. Any other colour should be UV stabilised and suited for use above ground.
