Soil vent in bedroom!!!

[paul72]

I currently undertake a plethora of jobs for a client and they have states that they have an unpleasant smell emanating from their bedroom. On inspection there is a box section with 2 circular vents on each side where the horrendous odour is coming from.

It looks like during construction of the 2 storey extension the builder has decided to just box in the soil pipe and leave it terminating in the bedroom. Now I am no plumber but know this is not correct. Should the soil be extended into the loft with AAV installed? I wanted to gain some opinions before I source a plumber to undertake the work so that I have a general understanding of the task.

Many thanks

Yes, you are correct, it is wrong, I’ve had it on a housing estate where I work, they just left an open end in the loft. AAV might be able to be installed where it is currently with an access panel.
