Soil pipe broken at floor level ( picture attached)

[Essex Mark]

Hi

I have come across a grey plastic Soil Pipe which is broken at Floor level, It needs to be rectified, I have a couple of theorys on how to do it, but what is the easiest way.

it goes into a collar as it enters the ground.

Is the easiest way to cut it from the ground piece in say 1m of new pipe and use a timesaver joint or is there a better way... see picture below

Hi Mark.
Easiest way is like you say,cut a meter out,remove and lubricate the spigot. Then use a pushfit coupling,you can knock out the centre lugs and use it as a slip coupling. Make sure you mark where the coupling should be on the pipe,so when you slip it down the pipe,you get it dead centre.

Pretty much how I would do it myself...... straight forward advice from one Mark to another🙂regards turnpin

I will have a go tomorrow, Just one more thing how well will the coupling fit, what I mean is the new fitting and coupler will be 110mm and the old pipe will be 4inch will that be ok fitting wise ??

This shouldn't be a problem as 110mm is 4.33 inch so I would assume it will slip on a treat.
