So the soil pipe is higher than the inlet on the AJ(see pic).  Was thinking of cutting hole in riser and sliding onto pipe but due to the moulding of AJ there are three flat spots with the bigger one obscured by the pipe. Would be afraid of waste falling and sticking on this.

There is a 1/60 fall on soil pipe am afraid by fitting a bend further up soil pipe and connecting in at the inlet on the AJ that the water may leave the waste behind. Pipe run is right to left. Any ideas?

Probably need a bit more info on this.  How far is this from where the soil pipe exits the house?  

 

Have to ask why the pipe is higher than the inspection chamber and is that concrete outside the IC (and also inside the IC)?

 

Why was the IC installed before the drain run?

No, that’s a bodge, don’t do it, run the pipe at the angle so it connects up properly. 
having the pipe run steeper than 1:40 is not a problem, it will not leave the solids behind, that is a misconception.

1:40 gradient is good practice target, max gradient is 1:10.

It's  approx 12m, the job ain't finished so the Soil pipe is just sitting on the AJ.

 

Just lower that end. The difference over 12m won't be significant. As others have said you can go steeper.

If this is the case, it sounds like you have plenty of length of pipe that will flex enough to meet the proper connection.  Bit more digging on the horizon 🙂
