Hand held band saw or angle grinder.

Hacksaw if you have a week to spare - or an apprentice who needs bringing down a peg or two

Beware! Make sure it isn't an asbestos pipe!

is it cast iron? usually a large angle grinder or if its coming out, a big hammer

Angle grinder with 1mm cast iron cutting blade. Once established its not asbestos,(unlikely). Asbestos used in 60's for external rainwater but CI usually found for soil pipe.

Thanks everyone, its on a 1930"s house and cast on the outside. I have a cutting disc on the angle grinder so will take it task, hopefully be able to fit a straight pan connector to it. I havent done one before so it will be a challenge!

I'd use an angle grinders as well as long as it wasn't asbestos

and collar shape is wrong for asbestos but then probably only you and me would know that steve.

Quite a few ASB soil stacks (& RWP) still left around here.

You'll be fine.

If you can cut the pipe without breaking it, a Multikwik should go in nicely (get the bore as clean as possible). You can buy a 20mm offset connector if the alinement isn't perfect for the new pan but DON'T try to use an offset if the new pan outlet is too low for the existing pipe (you'll increase the amount of water sitting in the pan and flushing will be poor).

Tip - don't go for the tight cut against the wall straight away, go in just under the collar, get that out of the way first, it will then give you more room to work in to wards the wall.
Make sure you have on all your PPE, and take it easy.

And yes a standard Multikwik will fit inside.

Leave at least 100mm of branch for seal of pan connector, longer won't matter. Length of pan connector cut down to suit.

Last time id this i ended up pretty ill for weeks with something like flu so if you use a grinder make sure you ventilate the room and were a mask and wash your hands an stuff after ....theres alot of nasty stuff getting heated up there.

 

[acecharly]

Oh you can get a pipe chain cutter but not sure if youd get in there probably be tight.
