washing machine waste pipe

[Riley]

So the plumber left it under the floorboards rather than giving you a tall pipe to plug your waste into? that doesn’t make any sense there’s more to this. Is this going on a cupboard that’s not been built yet or something? Why would he not just bring a pipe up and attach a suitable upstand? Do you have any sort of trap under the floor to prevent smells coming back?? If he’s done it wrong and it wasn’t what you were expecting get him back. But make sure you’re in this time to tell him what specifically you want

Thanks for the reply buddy.

According to the wife, there was an upstand, but it was meant to be installed flush against the wall next to the white cold water feed.

The way he has positioned the upstand means that I won't be able to fit the washer in as the washer would have to be directly above the upstand. (Theres no space to fit it after the upstand)

The plumbers solution was to take the upstand out, raise the washing machine on legs and insert the flexible waste hose coming out of the washer directly into the hole in the floor.

I have no idea if he has fitted a trap without ripping the floor out :S

Simple answer is mate get them back you may not have a trap and additionally you are never going to know if it backflows and is overflowing under floorboards
