own up who did the work and we might decide to help you sort this mess out
 
There are a range of ways it could be done

Yes, I checked out those when I intended doing it myself. Shouldn't there also be a minimum angle of descent for the waste pipe? A horizontal section, if unavoidable should be of X length maximum, for example.
 
Not sure what you mean by minimum angle of descent?
The fittings have a built in angle to them and if they are fitted properly that will be correct angle & fall. A 90degree 110mm bend is actually less. Same with centre of junction.
What a mess.
 
What an abortion.

Pull down that stack and cry, because it's ruined.

1. Dig down to salt glazed rest bend. Boss down to black plastic. Inspection point. Then vertical pipework.

I would not bring both bogs in at same level but I would be configuring them so that they had own connections. Old cast one as is and new one on acute branch with 45d to bring it vert and 90 out of wall.

Boss in sinks above

I would possibly go old skool and fit breathers!
 
I agree. It must be by far the biggest mess of a soil stack I have ever seen!
The guy that did that must be a moron and he ain't a plumber!
I suggest the OP gets his money back from the idiot that did that mess.
Even a diyer could do it much better and replace the entire stack.
 
I think it looks pretty with all them nice new grey and brown colours along with silver bands And black sillicone who'd have thought the original seal isnt upto the job. I dont care what the others say i love it

I really like it. The playful use of blacks and greys in juxtaposition, creating a dynamic tension of light and shade. The smeary blobs of bodging mastic a plaintive lament of the decline of British engineering and manufacturing prowess. The insertion of brown bringing the narrative sharply back to the subject matter - poo. Whilst the subtle, almost arcane knowledge that brown will eventually decay under UV clearly harkens back to the days of seeing brown dog poos bleached white by the sun.

An insightful piece. Nomination for the Turner prize is almost certain.

I think he did it himself to be honest
And melodramatic was the wrong word
Moron be a better one

That would make you feel better wouldn't it. But it was done by one of your profession, and like you, an Irish one at that. Say no more.

This is for the mod: "Please make sure what you are about to post is in-keeping with the forum rules, specifically the "be nice" rule. Just be nice and helpful (even to new members) or don't reply at all please."

LOL, yeah maybe I should keep it, could be the start of a whole new Banksy-like art movement.
 
How do you know it was done by one of ours you don't , somone might say there a plumber but unless they have paper work to back it up there not unless they have been in the game 40 +

Thanks, that answers my question.

To be totally frank about it, we thought you had done it all yourself. It is definitely not done by a plumber. The waste pipes drilled straight into the soil pipe with black sealant on joints and also the underground pipes are a giveaway. How did you come across the installer? I would complain to him, but don't ask him to personally do anymore to it, as he is not capable.
 
Mind u guys not all plumbers are as neat as us , could've been plumber but a mean cowboy at that,
Il be nice to you ironbuttaxe ,
 
Guys. It's an abortion. We all know that it's an abortion and that whoever fitted it clearly isn't in the trade.

Just keep it professional please.
