You said "plenty of lubricant around the bottom" and not even a snigger. Real professional

Great video Mark, I do plumbing all day but still enjoy watching your work.

Another great video Mark. Don't worry about the time you seem to be taking as at the end of the day you have done loads. Every bend of pipe takes time and planning. it results in a fantastic job that's well thought out.

You are a fantastic job. Your thinking is spot on all planned for your first fix. It's all going really well. Love it

You’re spot on with it taking time cos when 1 does it proper, takes long time to plan & figure out way to do it…sometimes customers don’t appreciate how long it takes to just do 1st fix stuff…”it’s all in the preparation”!!

This shows just how professional you are. Because your cleanlyness with your working environment, that makes all the difference, towards your clients and yourself! 👌

Yeah, it always takes ages when you’re working in a small Bathroom. Thanks for the link Mark, I’m going to buy one of these internal cutters👍👍

Yes mark love it 🙌🏻🙌🏻 real life situations love it, the stuff people don’t see 👌👌 keep it up mate

I want to thank you MJ Tiff Plumbing for your excellent videos, I have learnt so much from your videos alone, i am currently working towards my qualifications to be a plumber and i find your vids a great source of knowledge and insight. You're a great tradesman and an excellent teacher.

Another good video. Never seen a sparky make a mess like that on the ceiling, even if it’s being over boarded!!! Just looks a mess and carelessness and no quicker than using a hole saw attachment.

Well thought out and installed. Love to watch these videos .

Looking forward to seeing this job progress Mark,I like doing bathrooms, find the work satisfying, take care 🚽👍

Had very same issue on soilpipe on recent job but it was all in the bloody eaves, Haha, my back gave out after crouching in there all day. Am getting one of those cutters, thanks for that tip. It's great when you solve a problem like that, makes your day. Great vid as ever Mark.

Excellent video and like way you explain your plan and how you going execute it. Keep all the good work, can’t wait for next video.

I've lost count of how many times I've cut the side of toilet pans out 🤣 sometimes there's just not enough room for back to wall pans housed in a boxing. Great work pal!!!

Looking good mark . A little bit of thinking time works wonders 👍👍👍👍

Very interesting video - thanks - and impressive work on that soil stack!

This is very helpful stuff. I am a rank amateur DIYer and have been looking for some info about working with soil stack fittings, as I'll need to do so when replacing my bathroom. This is the most useful practical explanation that I've come across. It helps that you're solving a real life problem too, and showing how you work in a confined space. You're braver than I am to cut the soil pipe off so low though.

Cable saws are awesome for cutting the soil and fast. Worth a try 👍

Great video very detailed and informative best one I have seen. Thank you. Please keep the good work going.👌🏻

Fantastic video well done reg waste pipe fair play for ripping the old one out and starting fresh. I can just imagine it was a head scratcher before you decided but in the long run at least you won’t have any issues reg water not getting away if you’d stuck with the old one and just crossed your fingers hoping be allright. Can’t tell you how much I enjoyed watching that. Your a plumbing guru sir the Dalai Lama of pipe manipulation.

Looking good mate, keep up the good work

Excellent detail of what your doing. Thanks

The amount taken out of those joists is way more whan regs allow

HI Mark nice work and vid love the cutting tool must get one all the best

Great vid your experience really shows loved your ginger haired apprentice the four legged one.👍👍👍😎😎😎🐶🐶🐶

Looking forward to seeing you cut the pan, never done that myself, good luck.

Great vid as always mate 👍

Sparky using a hammer for holes for downlights. I use a 57 mm hole cutter🤔 Good video Mark. Looking forward to the finished result.

Brilliant video showed everything 👍

Absolutely brilliant

Nice one Mark

Can I ask what inserts you use for the soil pipe tees to get wastes in? I was on a job the other day to repair a leaking one outside and showed up with a BOSS rubber insert but it was too big (soil pipe tee cut out) so had to mangle the rubber insert with a stanley and a load of silicone to make it fit. I rang around asking for a slightly smaller insert but nobody seemed to know what I was talking about.

That’s a great plan out and first fix job. Quite a dare mode to cut that soil stack. I guess it must be the experience that you gained after all these year to make that decision or cut look so easy.

Hi great video, you can get WC pans with LH or RH cut outs, i have brought them before.

Great video 👍

Nice video thanks mate 👌

Great video again mate....hope your gonna film cutting that pan will be very interesting to see how you do it

Hi Mark great video as always how did you get the fall for the waste pipe when notching the joists and is there a worry of weakening the joists ?

I was installing a lintel with my brother at his house and he was altering the single toilet area. Building Control were more interested in the toilet because like us, not many people know that it alter the length of the toilet waste pipe or anything on the stack, you require building regs. I kid you not.

They do the pans left/right exit mate👍I brought one a thought I could of done that myself! There nothing special just a pan that's been cut out 😃

Nice work mate 👍 a bit of 2" and reduced it down for basin and shower waste might have made it easier, keep up the fight 👍

Nice mate love a good rip out! Could’ve durgo’d that vent and boxed in lower level for a shelf maybe but extra work for no real reason haha, keep the vids coming 🤙

Great video thanks

Another interesting video and great to see the progress of a new bathroom. Trying to have my bathroom refurbished but what is it about people coming out to quote and then you never hear back from them?

Great video. Re waste pipe: grey inside, black outside and brown underground. Can you also use the brown/underground pipe inside? Not to mix and match with grey, but the whole internal system. Thanks.

Need more of the Dog in this series 😂

Do you drain heating system to move that towel rail or is there a way of doing it without draining?

Good progress mark with the bathroom, the only thing I would of done different would be to run 2 inch waste from the boss to the basin then tee off in 1 1/4 to the basin then 1 1/2 to the shower and probably fit a MacAlpine aav above the shower in the loft to stop the sink gurgling as I'm never keen on notching joists next to an already notched joist but each to their own. As for the sparks I know you said the ceiling is being over boarded but that's absolute lazyness banging holes in the ceiling like that, it's a mess and would probably take 20 mins in the loft. Anyway looking forward to the finished job 👍

Hi mate, got a question, i turned off my stoptap under the sink I have an unvented white cylinder, I turned on the hot taps & it wouldn't seem to stop flowing? does turning off the cold stoptap, stop hot water coming out so I can change a tap / shower etc?

Got exactly same issue on our job re BTW pan !! They look really nice but don’t work on internal soil stacks ,.. said the same - I’ll cut out but cannot guarantee it won’t crack ! 🤞🤞🤞 in morning 🤣👍

Mark. What do you use as a lubricant? For connecting up. Many thanks Gray

Mark they do sell those pans with one side cut out, got one from plumbase recently, was still a bit tight though!

Another great vlog mate.Do you not like tile backer board rather than plasterboard. Thanks Gareth

See these internal stacks a lot on properties I do. They can’t be a proper pain in the ass! All old, stuck and wedged in! Like yourself I sometimes just rip out the fittings and start again! Not everyone appreciated this part of the job and the thought process that goes into it! 👍 take care mate!

Does anybody know please - In a new solid concrete floor, is there a standard distance the soil stack needs to be from the wall?? Once the floor is poured there's no going back, if its wrong its bad news. 😢

Great seeing how you think out the soil stack problem. Quick question for my own understanding, does the soil stack fittings not need to be cemented together?

Little tip for next time you can get 40mm solvent through two joists have pull on it and bend it in it alright when it goes in then just coupling it up, flex seal instead of pissing about cutting that lip on inside good work though nice to see people using copper

How did you get the waste pipe under the floor without lifting the floor up? Great video as usual.

The white pipe that you initially took off that shows the black rubber needs replacing(its currently leaking) 😮, can you just seal it with silicone or do i replace the whole part? Your advice is much needed thank you

Urgh internal soil stacks 😩 what genius thought of that idea eh!? We had one inside the cavity once which if never seen before

Nice job on soil pipe ...is the shower tray going on legs ? ....doesn't seem alot of fall on waste to reach shower tray ....great content on vids 👍

Cutting soil pipe is never for the feint hearted! Great confidence!

Why would you notch the joists again when you can simply put a T into the small waste pipe and extend it to the shower?

Yeah they do pans with the left and right side knocked out already I'm sure they're made by roca i have sold a few of them from City plumbing 😁

Can you not take the soil pipe straight down under the toilet and then across to the stack? Saves cutting the toilet and having to add horizontal boxing in

Great video on the bathroom rip out.could you not connect the basin waste and shower waste together so you only have one run into the stack pipe.tiles came off easy enough without to much damage to walls.bet it will look smart when finished 👍

More bathroom remodels please Mark

Great job mate, would it not beenbetter to bring the 4" under the floor and go in the side of the toilet T for the shower and basin, great jobs anyway.

Thanku s..

Gunner cut the side of the toilet pan out. 🙈. Jeeze, never seen that done before. Looking forward to seeing that.

Arnt there rules and regs about how much joist you can cut out and distance from the end plate?

Live in Midlands had no water , can't flush or nothing for 6 days now ! Had 5 plumbers out so far basiccly live on top of a takeaway there's 2 flats in on same second floor mine is a one floor flat and my neighbour has an upstairs , basiccly when I flush the chain it starts backing up and then if I run the tap it will back into the toilet and bath ! If my neighbour flushes or runs the taps it backs into my bath also !! First plumber didnt want to touch it and said its a severn trent water issue and they need to clear it from the main sewage they checked and said its clear from there ! We have a main sewage clean out in the back of the takeaway downstairs and the second plumber said it looks clear ! Thrid day a tried plumber came out and noticed because of the back up of water the pipe burst inside the wall and came apart 😳 flooded my whole bathroom and down into the takeaway!! That plumber didn't want to do it as we don't know the layout of the pipe work etc! When the water backed up into the bath we unplugged the pipe which went from the sink outside into a main drain line which leads downstairs to stop water coming in and got it to redirect outside instead ! The whole pipe when we take the sink pipe off is filled to the top of water backup! My landlord said that pipe thats full goes both left and right and has u bends! What would this problem be my neighbour is being very selfish and keeps running the taps etc and it backs into my bath! If we turn taps on or flush more then once same thing will happen pipe will fill and back into my bath and toilet it was so bad it broke the seal around my toilet and water was spraying out ! My landlord got another plumber which he chose to be cheap with to come and repair the pipe which was leaking and he ran my tap literally once and the tap for all but 3 seconds and said it was working so the landlord tried blaming us for taking a small pipe off the back of the sink which backed into the main pipe which has back up in ! If we didn't take that off water would have carried on coming in ! We saved him thousands in damage by doing that and quick thinking I grabbed every single towel bucket and even bed sheets etc to soak up the water ! And we were taking it in turns to empty the bath as it filled! The landlord refuses to turn the water off by mains and the problem still isn't fixed the pipe that came off in the celling thats been repaired but the back up is still there and backs up from my neighbours toilet above mine into my bath and mine does the same ! What could this be is this a soil stack blockage or is it something to do with the pipe that attaches to the back of the bathroom sink because that one is the one connected to the sink and bath and thats the one I took the off and was backed up right down into the celling! Would the soil stack back up into other pipes also? Because I thought it was a main line sewage problem and sevebrn trent would fix it ! But they said no blockage and the man who came to check the main line clean out whixh is inside the takeaway said it was working but he only got the takeaway to run there taps and toilet and we didn't get asked and we are on the 2nd and third floor ! :/ confused!

Why didn’t you just put a 135 into the current shower waste for the sink?

Hi, very impressed with your plumbing skills. I guess you are vat registered. Have you ever had potential customers complain or go with a non vat registered because of the extra 20%

Hi mark what’s the link to the internal cutter u use on soil stack cheers mate

I’ve just started a bathroom today , the customer hasn’t stopped talking all day . You just can’t get on !!

Got that same eBay cutter Bud 🤘😎🤘

Hi Mark, this job looks like it will make a great series of films. I was happy to see the copper pipe installed and not plastic, well done, that settled my OCD. It was great to hear your thought process about the soil pipe etc. I look forward to the next episode in this series. I hope to be at the installer show on the Wednesday at Birmingham. Have a great rest of the week, take care, regards, Chris.👍👍👍

Just a personal thought question. I believe a 110mm dia. stack or should I say soil vent pipe (that is a pipe that is vent only) can be as narrow as an inch and a quarter. I mean, 110mm is (in my opinion) excessive, also at 110mm there is an uninsulated space in the room. If the vent pipe was less than 110mm, it could be incorporated into the stud wall structure................ Thanks.

They do do pans with knockout points on either side like kitchen sinks, always dodgy doing it but they do them🙄 second fixing today and customer agreed one for electric towel rail position then changed mind so had to remove four tiles and re fit as the tiler had finished to move over 100mm🙄😂

Why cant you put the basin and shower down the same pipe?

Tough few days Mark as always

Hi mate been following you for a while now. What sizes are recommended for basin/shower/bath waste please?

A coach bolt, nut and a grinder disc and make your own internal cutter

Lock your chuck fully! Then turn it back one click locks the chuck so your bits won’t fall out!

where part 2 carnt find it is there 1

felt your pain on soil stack

I was just thinking..... Is it not ok to use inch 1/2 for shower and T off for basin waste and just reduce to inch 1/4.

I'm not a plumber. Why can't you use the existing 40mm waste for both shower and basin?

Good job mate.though could you not have used 2 4x4 branches under the floor or was there not enough room.as you say real world plumbing trying to solve these problems

I hate back to wall pans,you can never be sure they are not leaking till it shows up on the ceiling below.

With all them notches in the joist for the pipes,doesn't the integrity of the joist be compromised?

I read soils stack have to be cut straight...is that true?

"good job we are over tacking the ceiling then!" Sparks, get a hole saw and a dust pan and brush!!!!

Why is the shower waste so high notched in joist.. If the tray sits on floor normally waste is say at least 70mm to centre of pipe as it comes out of pot. Surely there's no fall unless the tray is risen right...

I enjoy your videos so much useful tips and info i am stuck in something though so will contact you directly 👌

yeah boiiii ;-)

Could you not have connected the basin waste into the shower waste?
