the genie got rubbed away(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
as did the 40 thieves etc etc, now on to soil pipes, a crap job but someones got to do it :LOL:
 
you can move anything subject to regs, and the playing field enabling a diversion.

Cost we have no idea and would depend on a thousand and one things.

where you gona move it too, what does it have to pickup (re-connect), ground conditions, dept, and materials.

Whilst you have the diggers in doing the extension get thm to price to move it., if it stays where it is it would have to be encased in concrete.
 
easiest way might be to move the bog and the soil stack onto another outside wall if that is an option. otherwise the other way I would do it would be to keep the bog where it is, move the stack to another outside wall away from the top of the flat roof and run the soil pipe from the bog internally then out to meet the repositioned soil stack.

moving the soil pipe will involve digging up the drains and building regulations but you could make it part of your application as part of the extension.
 
Easiest/cheapest way, if keeping loo in same place
Original stack becomes internal (boxed in) after extension
Suspended floor in new extention (allows access) bridging at exterior walls.
 
Just following this thread I want to put a soil pipe into an existing downstairs loo. The toilet at present just goes straight down and out into the outside drain so because I want to put a loo up stairs directly above I thought I could move the toilet over 18 inches an build an internal stack up the corner with a joggle of say 45 degrees and go straight down the existing hole and branch the downstairs loo off the side. I would branch the upstairs loo off the side and carry on up and out. Can anyone see a problem with that idea please :?:
