Waste Pipe going into Roof at a Angel

Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.26 PM

Hello, I have recently moved into a house, where a small lean-too extension has been done to the side of the house to accommodate a WC (this is where the path used to be to get to the garden). A pitched tile roof has been installed above it. The toilet has also been relocated from the original position upstairs. Recently, I noticed a wet ceiling in my WC. My investigation revealed that the leak is caused where the waste pipe entered into the pitched roof of the WC extension to connect to the original soil pipe. I basically have a angled pipe going into a angled roof. Worst thing is that no proper seal has been used where the pipe enters. It just has a load of lead flashing cut around it, in a attempt to make a circle flashing. Before I get a roofer out, I wanted to get some advise from trusted people at mybuilder. Will this thing do the trick? http://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-sp320-end-ventilation-slate-grey/19121 Or is the angel of my pipe/WC roof a problem (i.e. too acute). Here is a (poor attempt) skecth of the problem. The green bits are my waste/soil pipes. https://s27.postimg.org/m96dspezn/IMG_0132.png Many Thanks Zed
