soil pipe

Hi, I am getting my garage converted into a bedroom and bathroom , I've been quoted and am happy, I wanted to do part myself which I'm thinking of doing the soil pipe from the toilet to the existing concrete manhole, I just am not sure if it's possible or if anyone has any better ideas! I will...

I have a static airstream caravan in my garden. Up to now its been my office, I am converting it to spare bedroom with bathroom shower and loo. I plan to use a saniflo for the waste. My problem is the saniflo waste will start 20ft from the house then run down the side of the house to the...

Hi, I am planning to swap the location of my kitchen and dining room and the best route for the greywater would be into existing rainwater gulleys - with a short extension. It is a house from the early 30s so the rain and soil pipe already combine before entering a combined sewer running...

Hello, long time lurker/first time poster here. Basically I've had to remove (and will hopefully replace..) the cast iron soil pipe on our early 60s semi. The old one came down without too much trouble but before starting I noticed the collar on the clay pipe was cracked. Sadly the crack turned...

I’m not a plumber firstly, but here goes. I’m doing a loft conversion, the new bathroom toilet is directly above the existing downstairs toilet. The plastic soil pipe in the downstairs concrete floor comes up about 9 inches from the wall. (I don’t want to take the soil pipe through an outside...

I have a septic tank 15m from the manhole cover on the terrace. I need to lay a soil pipe from the manhole cover to the septic tank. Horizontal distance from manhole to septic tank is 15m. Vertical drop is 3m. In the three pictures attached the manhole cover is by the wheelbarrow on the...

I’m looking at the possibility of moving a internal soil pipe outside. The soil pipe services an en-suite upstairs wc, shower and basin. Downstairs it services a shower which I intend to remove. The existing pipe runs down the middle of the house and out to an inspection chamber which is...

Hi All We are buying our first property and have what we suspect is an exposed 4" soil pipe running along the kitchen ceiling. The pipe has been boxed in and it's there as a result of an extension. What possibilities are available to fully conceal the pipe or redirect it? We have attached a...

Hi All, I need to fit a soil stack for my ensuite bathroom. I have I understand that it has to be above any opening if the opening is less than 3 meters away. My question is Does this apply only if the opening is only on the same wall.. Thanks

I'm considering to build an en suite in the attic room of my house. Its a 1890s terrace fairly standard in the North of England. There is pipework up to the attic level since there was previously some sort of tank or immersion heater in the attic so it should be able to be plumbed in. My concern...

At the base of the soil pipe leading to the drain, there is a hole in the concrete which reveals the main sewer pipe. What is the best way to repair the hole?

Hi, Need some advice on the soil pipe inside or outside, I have searched on google and read couple of forums but don't find the right or wrong answer of soil pipe being inside or outside the property. We are adding two rooms on the side of the house and one loft into dormer conversion. Please...

My cast iron soil pipe does not seem to be leaking, but there are sometimes bad smells - presumably because the joints are in a poor state. Q1 - What should I use to reseal it with? A man who came about the drains suggested chemical metal. But should I use something else instead, such as...

Hi I’m installing a new bathroom in a 4ft x 10ft space, with window and two existing outlets beneath it at one end. Outlet 1 was connected to a basin and is 18” above suspended timber floor, leads outside to a cast iron stack. Outlet 2 was connected to a bath and runs from above floor level...

Ok guys first post here and I need some help. We moved in to our 1965 5 bed hone about 6 weeks ago. It had been empty for about a year prior to our move. the downstairs toilet/cloakroom (built with the house) has quite a nasty smell about it. We have checked all the p-pipes and looked for leaks...

Hi all! Got my dad down this weekend to help me sort out a leaking boss strap, and potentially make another one redundant. The bottom one used to be used for the washing machine waste, but a new layout will mean that I either put a sharp corner straight out of the connector, or I connect it to...

Hi all Need to gain 20 mm height on soil stack,the point where the soil pipe exits the building,I understand water doesn't run up hill only option I seen to have is relocate exit on gable end and bring around corner, completely out the way.I would also run the two external waste...

The background: installing understairs WC wall is adjoining neighbours so drainage to run out to other side of house (about 4.5m to external wall, 6m to 4" stack) hanging sink with this trap https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/round-modern-chrome-basin-bottle-trap-tube-to-floor-pipe-set...

I'm hoping to move a toilet about 1m further along the same outside wall. Unfortunately the place where the waste would ideally go through the outside wall is right in the middle of a brick arch (over the window downstairs) and I'm keen not to drill a big hole in it. Is it sensible to have a...

Hi. We had a new soil pipe put in and a new toilet but since the work I have getting a lot of sewage smells coming up around the soil pipe. No leaks anywhere but I have seen that there is a void around the base of the soil stack that air is rising up from. The void is wide enough to put my hand...
