    In terms of connecting the flexi pipe to the soil vent pipe, I think it was just pullover over the pipe and cable tie was wrapped around it… probably not the correct way of doing it.

    On the non-return valve, where should this be?

    It should have been fitted to open top of the soil vent pipe that terminated in the loft.

    Like this one, just pushes down into the pipe and seals it, but allows air into the pipe to stop siphoning effect.

    A Durgo valve,(I called it a Dergo valve earlier in the thread.)

    So I think I might of got to the bottom of the smell. Was getting the new extractor fan in main bathroom connected to the roof when the guy noticed the flexi pipe connected to the waste pipe was sagging with water. I replaced it with an insulated pipe. Going to give it a few days to see is that problem
