how easy to add a toilet to a bathroom?

[spacecat]

My new house has a separate upstairs toilet and a bathroom with just a sink and a bath in it.

The bathroom has enough space to add a toilet and i am thinking of putting one in so we have 2 toilets.

With the bath and sink plumbing is it likely to be a straightforward job?

The sink and bath discharge into a drainpipe into an open drain not a soil pipe. The separate toilet is at the back and goes inot a soil pipe

you know the answer then
you need to connect the new bog to the foul waste

I guess that the new bog needs to be connected my question is (not being a plumber) how big a job is it?

if the downstairs outflow is directly under the upstairs then its relativly easy
if it round a corner or underground it gets more difficult

the toilet is soil pipe is at the back of the house the bathroom drainpipe is to the side of the house.

there is a ground floor outside loo sort of underneath the bathroom but futher back

It may be possible to utilise the existing gulley that accepts the bath and basin wastes to use as a drain for a new stack to serve the proposed W.C. (You will need to check with Building control at the council that they will allow you to do this.)

Otherwise its a new run from proposed stack position to nearest foul drain. There may be need to install a manhole where the existing or new pipe joins the sewer if there isnt a chamber there already.

Saniflo is another option but this will require a discharge connection to an existing stack or sealed drain.

so its not exactly straightforward

in my old house the bath and toilet were in the bathroom and both drained into a soil pipe

Any chance of a diagram showing existing and proposed W.C. positions? Any ideas of where drains run would be handy too.
