A leaseholder is has been having ongoing problems with the flushing of his WC ever since he moved into his flat a couple of years ago. The pictures indicate as to why this is the case – there is not sufficient fall on the 6m run of soil branch to the stack (I refer her to the lower branch of the two).
You guys will also notice that it is insufficiently clipped and therefore allowed a sagging to compound the problems.
But I wonder whether anyone could comment on where the responsibility for the modification lies? This is a leasehold property with a freeholder controlling the block. I have not been privy to the terms of the lease but usually the leaseholder is responsible for his own supply & waste pipework. The likelihood here, though, is that a connection is required lower down the soilstack which is the leaseholder would not have a right to undertake without the permission of the freeholder.
Any views much appreciated.
