    Saw something like that waste set up on 'Money for Nothing' last week.

    This isn’t looking good. He has sent over the invoice. Where do I stand?

    Upstream! That's coming back at you at some point.

    Seriously - the waste isn't properly functional and by the looks of it the bath needs raising as Astra said straight off.

    I wouldn't have him set foot in the house again, his work is terrible, dread to think what he would do to rectify the problem.

    I haven't laughed so much since Goldenboy accused people of goading DA. If that soil pipe goes out through an external wall, the bath waste needs to go out through the same wall below the soil and connect at a lower point, if it's an internal soil in boxing, same applies (and I'm not a plumber). Shocking job.

    Looks like silicon so will probably leak sooner than later.

    Where is your stack pipe, the soil pipe running around bath does that go through a outside wall to stack, secondly which way are the joists running,or is it a concrete floor, hard to see on phone.:(

    Any chance you can do use a plan/sketch.

    Could be a possibility of human waste products potentially finding there way into the bath with that set up, and I'm being serious! o_O

    Stack pipe outside is plastic, so why didn't he core drill a hole through wall & connect to stack pipe? Easy.:)

    Joists run the way the lines on the paper run.

    I’m a mechanical engineer by trade and really dissapointed people would even bother to try and get away with jobs like this?

    The guy seams really genuine and good reviews on my builder?

    Could have drill through wall above floor to stack, as bath seems high enough to give fall on pipe.
