Hi Guys,

The next job on my list is sorting out this mess, where the soil stack meets gully:

From above, you can just about see that the (clay) gully is tight up against the wall, so is offset from the soil pipe centreline - which probably hasn't helped:

The connection has been made via some sort of flexible section, but it's now in poor condition:(

What's the best way to sort this out, assuming I don't want to move the gully! The stack is attached to the wall with standard clips:

Many thanks,
David
 
That looks like a pan connector to me and a bodge of a job!

I would want to have a dig around the bottom to check what's actually their, then replace the P/C with a suitable fitting for both the plastic soil and whatever is in the ground.
 
As to trying to put a fitting in to straighten that up I would check what's in the ground and try and sort from their.
 
Many thanks for your advice, Ch4. Yes, I think 'bodge' is the correct technical term - I'm gradually working my way through them in our 'new' house. Why don't people just 'do the right thing' in the first place? It might cost a few more £££, but the extra is usually only a small % of the overall cost. Grrr!
