Hello all,

First off I am a plumber by trade but I work almost exclusively on new builds so after buying my first house which is a little over 100yrs old this is a bit new to me.
I'm wanting to get a bathroom in upstairs in order to do so I need a stack up the side of the property, there is this which I belive to be a back inlet gulley (not 100% if not please tell me what it is šŸ˜) am I right in thinking I can't just drop a stack into this and I would have to gun up the concrete and put in a new connection?

Any and all advise welcome

Thanks

Harry

Hi all I am just after a bit of advice. I'm buying a new house with a downstairs bathroom. I can not see a vent pipe on the outside of the property or an AAV in the loft. It's a terraced house, so thought maybe it shares the neighbours vent stack? It look like all the waste pipes go down...
