Soil Stack Installation, Replacement & Repair
Soil stack and soil pipe repair, replacement and new installation.
Soil stack work
The soil stack (soil vent pipe) is the large vertical pipe that carries waste from toilets, baths, showers and basins to the underground drains and ventilates the system.
- New stacks for new builds, extensions with a bathroom or WC, loft conversions and outbuildings
- Replacement of old cast iron stacks, which corrode, crack and fail at the joints, with modern uPVC
- Repairs to damaged or blocked stacks
New installations follow Building Regulations Part H. Replacing a stack can need external scaffolding, and we coordinate access and timing to minimise disruption.
Soil stack work for homes in the area
Soil stacks in older homes in Guildford, Farnham, Godalming and Woking are often cast iron, which can crack, corrode or loosen at the joints over time. In newer homes the plastic pipes are generally trouble-free but can be damaged during building work.
- Signs of a problem: damp patches or staining near the stack, smells from the stack, noisy flushing or gurgling drains.
- Repairs to joints, collars and cracked sections.
- Replacement of cast iron stacks with modern plastic systems.
- New stacks for extensions, en-suites and loft conversions.
We will survey the stack, explain the options and quote before work begins.

How do I know if my soil stack is leaking?

Yes, subject to survey and the layout of your property.
