if you think that's ok I'm sure he wouldn't want you as number 4

Just had a proper look at the photo noticed theres no rodding eye and a mechanical elbow up top so its quite bad yes. Rubber coulings and odd colours Im ok with, the stack already had an odd coloured branch afterall so perhaps plumber 3 though he would complete the set with white and grey.

It isnt a job id undertake as too busy with gas. But if i knew youd had 3 others there - id just hang up

But to be clear - i didnt pass opinion really....good or bad. It isnt how id do it. But i dont know what he paid.
But it seems to work even if it isnt a van gough.

10 plumbers - 10 different opinions on how to do the same thing.

I'm not saying I agree or disagree with you or that I'm having a pop, But its easy to pick faults with pictures of someone else work when you haven't actually been to the job or know the hole story, the fact that the op mentioned going to Screwfix suggests to me that this might of been a late night or weekend job when the merchants where shut and they didn't have what he wanted in stock and had to make do, trying to get a working bathroom for the Op After being let down by 2 other plumbers, and as stanios mentioned its rare to see a proper job done on old houses, (not that I'm saying i'd accept that or not do a proper job on my work)
 
Why are you employing gas safe plumbers to sort a soil pipe out.

If your an architect - why do you need public opinion to decide if this is good or not - you would surely know the score...

Sorry something is amiss here - im done with this
 
Some of the work that I see kicking about now I can fully understand how people get through 2-3 plumbers over a job.

To me if I saw that I would say it's rough, it wouldn't cost anymore possibly cost less to do it nice and neat and correctly.

I took a job on that was started by someone else and she told him to go, when I was there I found out I was the 3rd person there. Yes she was very picky but she knew what she wanted and if she didn't like something she would say, I personally like that as I would rather they say than make do and slag me off behind my back. The standard of work in the property led me to believe that she had no choice to get rid of the others, things like 2 basins, 1 bath and 2 shower cubicles off 1x 1 1/2" pipe, a soil pipe looking a lot like the one in the photo amongst other things.
 
Yes but thats just the crux. As above how do you know they are plumbers.
1 was a handyman.

Did i tell you im a dab hand gynecologist
 
Followed a high roof LWB Transit the other week must of listed 20 things on the back doors that he did, you name it I think it was there.

Jack of all trades & master of none springs to mind. lol
