Soil/waste vent pipe

[kevstergb]

Hi,

Firslty I have a down stairs toilet under the existing bathroom with seperate waste pipe for the down stairs loo into the drain. 50's build.

The soil/vent pipe to the up stairs bathroom will be removed as i'm moving my bathroom to the rear of the house.

I would to know if its possible to remove the old cast pipe totally or can I reduce this in size if still needed as a vent pipe

I presume I will need to fit a new vent pipe at the rear of the property.

Thanks for the help.

Kev.

I would take your plans to BCO who will advise and will need to inspect too for which you will be charged as this work will be notifiable.

Bahco, doesn't that give you a warm glow? You can sleep easy now that you have given accurate advice

It is possible but it all depends on the distance between the w/c & the drain invert (the horizontal pipe under the ground that leads to the drain); if it’ less than 1.3m OK but if it;s more you will have to keep the vent. If the stack is inside the property you could use a stub stack & an AAV providing you have (of fit a new) open vent stack on the foul drain system but unfortunately you can’t use an AAV outside the property. You will need to provide a new vent stack &, obviously, a foul drain on the other side of the property for the new bathroom; & all this work is notifyable!
