A closer look today shows the pipework is really rotten so needs to be replaced. I assume there's no issue replacing the cast iron with plastic which I assume would be the easier/cheaper option.
Slightly complicated by the fact that this soil pipe does connect to the soil pipe from the ensuite in the loft at the top but hopefully that shouldn't be much of an issue.

That is fucked, get it replaced down to the ground. A plumber will do it.
Once they destroy the verticals they will be able to tell if the bit going into the wall is damaged and whether that needs replacing.
Soil pipe is fairly dear, and you'd save money by employing a plumber who is happy to do this off a ladder, assuming this is from eaves gutter down to the garden.
But our guy usually does this in a day easy.
Apart from if the bit going into the wall is knacked.
£300-400? That's a guess btw, but i wouldn't be too surprised if it came out around that figure.
