We are in process of buying a house which we will undertake a fair amount of internal reconstruction on.
One of which is to move kitchen from small room at the front into a more open plan design at the back of the house.
I have solved most of the issues with electrics, gas, ventilation etc but the drainage problem is beating me.
Simplest answer would be to dig a new trench through across the inside of the house to the existing drain (which is obviously on the other side of the house!). I have spoken to a builder who seems to think this is feasible albeit at a price (£10k est?) and obvious mess issues. Mess is not huge concern as its a whole house renovation.
However, would a better alternative be to dig a new trench along the outside of the house on the side of the new kitchen and create a new link to existing public sewer? No idea if this is allowed or not?
I know a picture would be handy so I will try and knock something up.
All or any thoughts welcome ... Many Thanks,
