That's the crux of it, for the long story...
Paid a builder to install a soil pipe for a new downstairs shower room and get all necessary permissions/certificates etc.
Builder did all the work, but didn't supply building control documentation.
I got onto him and he denied that he was supposed to do that. No written contract, so I just left it at that.
Got the building control guy in, he looked at it for 5 minutes and told me it was a shoddy job, but we can work around that, however, it's plumbed into a rain-water drain and we can't use it! Grrrrrrr.
Anyhoo, the main soil pipe is on the total opposite side of the house and so is the foul-water drain. To correct this situation, I'll have to get a trench dug from the front to the back and it'll be a nightmare (concrete paths etc).
I don't want a macerator, because it won't fit in with my nice new bathroom gear including the very expensive toilet unit!
The floor joist run from front to back and there's enough space to allow the 1 in 40 drop, but it's 23 feet from front to back. Is it allowed to be that long?
EDIT: Just realised, I didn't say, I want to run the waste pipe under the floor boards 23 feet from the front to the back of the house to reach the soil pipe...
