Hi all.
A quick question. I have been looking through the site and see that several people can get a bit funny with general, nonspecific questions especially when lacking diagrams/photos, However I would appreciate any thoughts.
I have just purchased a classic cornish granite cottage with a single story block extension that houses the kitchen and then bathroom right at the rear.
Several houses in the terrace have carried out a loft conversion but none with ensuite.
Getting water up there is of no concern but due to pressure i will be fitting an electric shower. My concern is around the waste, especially from the toilet. The current toilet is two stories below and then approx 5m away, which feeds straight into the sewer. I was chatting to a builder who reckons the best way forward would be to fit a macerator. I know these throw up problems further down the line (and are not liked by the trade) but it has to be easier than fitting whole new waste pipe.
Am i also right in thinking that the waste pipe cant be more than 2 meters long to the main waste.
I am going to get ideas and quotes from people I know in the trade but any ideas thoughts gratefully received.
Cheers
