Hi all.......
I am trying to fathom out how to move my bathroom soilpipe. I have attached a picture for clarity.
My house is a detached house with a very steep roof angle and the bathroom is a small dormer. In the corner of the bathroom was a boxed in area behind the toiltet. I have removed the toilet and the boxing in, in view of making the bathroom bigger. As you can see the soil pipe comes up (from the downstairs wc) and goes straight out of the flat dormer roof. The bathroom wc along with bath & sink wastes is piped into the soilpipe. The soilpipe must remain in the same postion from the floor to the downstairs wc, I want to position the new bathroom wc against the wall.
So my options/theories are:
1. Move the soilpipe across into the roof space where the hole is in the wall (there is plenty of room due to the roof pitch) and have a venting cap, this would be ideal as I could then remove the whole upright section and fill the hole in the dormer flat roof.
2. Move the soil pipe and connections into the corner of the room under the floor and run the soilpipe up the corner (boxed & tiled in at an angle) and have the wc fitted at and angle to make a feature of it. Return the soilpipe in the roof space to its existing position, out of the dormer flat roof.
I hope this makes sense?
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated, many thanks in anticipation.
Cheers......................
