    You might need to do a bit more demolition to do the job. Maybe @nofoollikeold would be able to help with advice.

    Finally  got it done. Took the box off in the kitchen and could pull the pipe out, my son had brought some fittings and managed to change the rubber seal  happy days.  Thanks for your tips and advice much appreciated.

    Well done. Those sort of jobs are always tricky, but really satisfying when you get a good result. Saved yourself a plumber's bill as well. Nice bit's putting the walls back together.

    Might be worthwhile putting an inspection hatch in where the pipe comes down from the bathroom. Assuming that bung on the tee can be removed, it gives you a rodding point to clear any blockages.
    Her courage will change the world.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.
