    Should we move our soil pipe?

    Moving the soil stack and WC. may be fine but bath,basin, shower all connect to the soil stack in most cases. This may create all sorts of issues. I would be inclined to plan out all the work before commencing. If you can not do it in your nut before starting don't start.

    unvented rointe relief valves

    Faced with this situation a survey of existing soil and waste system may be the place to start. The high temp that can be achieved with unvented system faults can be dangerous when discharging. The PVC/plastice pipes commonly used do not accommodate the potential high temps. However if the...

    Trevi Boost Temperature Problem

    Although not familiar with trevi booster shower, that which you describe (the turning on of cold taps) may well be improved by fitting a pressure reducing valve to the shower cold supply. Good Luck

    rooftop vent pipe full of water

    Hi If you can access the pipe further down? Why not drill a series holes with a very small drill (say 1/16th) easy to repair with a bit of solvent weld. This will tell you where the water it, which will identify the area of blockage when you strike air. Then perhaps an access point can be...
