Should definitely have been some sort ov seal between the swan neck and the 110mm pipe mate. That silicone is not the way to be doing thing's ive been a kitchen and bathroom fitting for 20 year's and therse no way on earth i would fit that with no rubber seals. Think you need to check with the manufacturer on the way it should connect and if they say silicon i would demanded my £60 back and go and get a £7 plastic 1 that's fit for purpose.
Looks a lovely job, when you take the pan out to change the pan connector it would be worthwhile replacing them screws holding the cistern to the wall with stainless ones.
I'm amazed at that soil pipe fitting not having a rubber seal like a multi quick. I've never fitted one of those so don't like to question the way they supply that or if it works OK but at the moment I have a toilet with a multiquick and I can't find an air leak from the waste pipe, cheers.
It's worth noting the Multiquick is another type of pan connector, but they're great because they are multi-purpose and generally universal. The Burlington one is designed for a 110mm (4") pipe, which I had installed in the ground.
@@OfficeBoyBuilder Maybe extend the copper from above the isolating valve, 90 deg bend horizontal run behind pan clipped to wall and a short vertical directly up into the cistern? 🤔😀🍺
Yeah, now that people have mentioned it (previous comments) I can definitely see what's missing! Will need to get one as it doesn't come with it as standard
@@OfficeBoyBuilder I’ll be fair for someone who isn’t a plumber you did well to get that all in and working well done mate…. Ps I like the towel rail on the sink that’s smart
Hi mate. Good work. When I first saw the cistern I thought it was chipped on the top left but that is just how it is. Also its good you have used silicone around the collar on the pipe because foul smell can find it's way out. I noticed that on a family members house and they had to get it siliconed
Hi mate the downstairs toilet looks great, how do you find the time to get stuff done around the house with kids (think I heard them in the background)? I have one on the way and potentially under estimating how much time a child may take 😂.
@@OfficeBoyBuilder haha them being to entertain themselves helps. I am hoping that with a newborn they will eat sleep and poo and so I can continue with stuff around the house whilst on paternity leave 🤣. This is the ambition until it all comes crashing down.
We bought our first flat when my wife was 6 months pregnant and it was a full gut-out and refit job...in the end my unborn son was so used to the sounds of hammers and sledges that he stopped jumping and kicking in my wife's tummy when we would work! 🤣
Your lucky to manage a WB , as my Victorian half landing toilet is 1000 x 1000 , I suppose there maybe a small corner WB on the market which I could fit in the corner

Thanks mate, great suggestion/input - I'll definitely take a look!
The VP100 WILL NEED AIR CIRCULATION eg a none habited area such as the roof space as per manufacturers instructions. SORRY MATE .

Or brass

You needed about another 15 cm on that flexi for the loo. Nice job overall looks impressive.👍
Yes I was thinking that...the bends are relatively shallow and it still flexes so it doesn't strain the pipe, but it's right at the limit, for sure!

Gold wrapped toilet paper! Nice.
Haha good spot!
Great idea with the grommet looks great!
Cheers! Definitely helped space without too much pressure 👍💪
Great progress mate
Cheers mate!
That pan connector is definitely not right there should be a rubber seal between the swan neck and the inside of the waste pipe
Yeah, now that people have mentioned it (previous comments) I can definitely see what's missing!

Beautiful finish looking really noice, well Mr Not a Plumber 😂👍🏼
Lol I'm getting slightly better at the small bits I've had to do...it's really not my forte, but I'm not hating the plumbing work as I used to.
Looking great mate. Great installation from someone who isn’t a plumber. 👏🏻
Cheers mate!

Yeah I worried the same thing! 🤣🤣
The smell is immediate and grim lol! Thankfully the seal works well 💪👍
Lovely to see how all this has progressed and come together! Keep up the amazing work and vids!
Thank you mate, really appreciate your support!
Very Nice! What are the dimensions of the room?
Cheers - it's only small; 700x1800mm which is probably about as small as you could go

Lol! Thankfully mine are both old enough to walk, talk, understand and semi-entertain themselves...! Also my wife is awesome with them 😍🤣

Once again an excellent video.
Cheers matey!
Perfect , what is the internal dimensions of the toilet room
It's not huge...! 700mm wide by 1800mm long.
That's about the smallest you'd want really...

Or even a toilet where the basin is combined with the cistern - they're super eco-friendly too...!
