    Adjusting Soil Pipe

    Hi all, The soil pipe coming down from the bathroom in the loft is fowling on the guttering, causing the guttering to sag (see photos). I've rung round, but no-one locally appears to be available to take on the job at the moment. Is this something I can adjust myself? Thanks in advance
