Advice please on new loo fitting

[rpm]

Feck me. Why does nobody take pride in their work. Cut out tee and have connection behind toilet, as Craig said above.

Take it this was a handymans work?

Price work?

Price work?

First thought was peanuts and monkeys

Some customers and plumbers don`t mind how it looks though.

With great respect, get a plumber. That is an awful install. The whole thing smacks of one up from a DIY disaster.

The flexi should not be under any form of tension neither should it be flattened out as it is. These things will cause it to fail early and by jove you'll know it as your house floats down the road...

Simply ask the plumber what they'll do to put it right. If they say:
- 'relocate and hard pipe' then that the best job
- if its 'disassemble, clean properly, modify and take strain off flexi' that's next best job.
- if its 'tighten up' then chuck 'em out.

Lastly, NO plastic pipe, NO plastic fittings.

Even just putting an elbow on the pipe would make it neater

Had a new loo fitted and it's leaking from a flexible pipe that s had a water isolating valve put on it the leak is actually coming from the valve not the flexi , he's been back to tighten it but it's still leaking he said something about taping it if it's still leaking and I call him again which I have to , I know nothing about plumbing but since having this loo fitted have been on internet and I'm a bit worried about the flexi pipe angle as it's a very tight one and I have read about them splitting ??????? Please could anyone advise my best course of action . Have taken a few pics . Thanks for any advice you can give me .View attachment 37450 View attachment 37451 View attachment 37450 View attachment 37451 View attachment 37452 View attachment 37453 View attachment 37450

It is not the worst I’ve seen. Could be neater.

Flexi under stress.
Iso valve fitted to pipe not cleaned of paint.
Iso screw not perpendicular to wall.
Generally untidy finish
Didn't even bother to check for water tightness before buggering off with your cash.
Not really a pro job, is it?
