New toilet stack

[Stargazer86]

Hi

We live in a 1950s bungalow, with a double concrete (not sure of name) foundation.

We are extending the property in next 2 to 3 years. Existing family bathroom will become ensuite as it is tiny.

Room directly across from bathroom will become family bathroom. Toilet approx. 3 metres away from current toilet position.

Any ideas on rough costings on digging trenches and installing new toilet stack. I know it will cost but i really don't want a saniflow due to noise.

TIA

You need to put where your existing stack is at the moment and where the new pipes are going to be run, is the floor solid or is there a void underneath ?

 

[Stargazer86]

It is solid. To be honest I'm a complete amateur at all this who will be getting professionals in. Just trying to budget.

Current stack is linked to outside wall behind toilet. Pipes come down from ceiling and run horizontally on toilet wall of current bathroom.

Then you need to get some quotes, its impossible to guess over the internet .

Okay. No worries. Thanks anyway.

I think you'd be better taking the new soil pipe out through the wall, and running drainage externally, underground. Cost depends on route, depth, IC's required etc. Assuming you'll be getting a builder in to do the rest of the work, he/she will deal with any drainage works required as part of the job.

Noise from a Saniflo should be the least of your worries.

Lol! It is not just the noise from a Saniflo. Every person I know who has one, hates it or has had some sort of problem with it.

I'm going to get a builder into quote me. As i want to know what % of the total build cost it will be.

I have one in the house that I rent out and have never had a problem. Just lucky I guess. I installed it right, though

If the Saniflo is installed, used correctly and serviced every 2-3yrs you wont hear it or have problems with it.
