Hello - Is anyone able to advise me on the do and don'ts of changing my drainage runs please?
I'd like to build a conservatory at the back of my house coming off the kitchen and adjoining the rear addition to one side and the garden wall to the other.
The problem is my cast iron soil stack would go straight through the conservatory. I'm concerned that someone relaxing in the conservatory will have to listen to turds recocheting down the soil pipe whenever the toilet is used. Do I need building regs to reroute the soil pipe diagonally along the wall to waste at the rear of the addition? Am I opening a huge can of worms if I try this? The project is a total refurb of an 1850's Victorian house so I'm free to change pretty much anything although cost is definitely an issue...
It's got a London valley roof which has it's own drainage pipe so that will need re-routing as well unless I can combine the roof drainage and the soil stack somehow. Not sure if this is permitted...?
Should I avoid all this and just try to disguise the soil pipe (and noise)?
Thanks in advance for any ideas..
