    Copper pipes or plastic pipes?

    Hi! I have to change all the plumbing in my mother's house. She lives in an old building that is approximately 100 years old and there wasn't much done to keep it up to date. My question is: do I use plastic or copper pipes?

    Push fit soil pipes..

    Does it matter if they aren’t fully inserted, as long as they go past sealing ring? I cut a bit of pipe 1-2cm too short and can’t get it out the other side to change!
