thats what I figured. So rise would need to be at start which means pipe needs to be layed over ground.

wow so are you saying this thing could pump up the steep rise after 14 mtrs? this is the product https://www.screwfix.com/p/turboflush-macerator-550w-240v/94490?_requestid=425997#product_additional_details_container and install instructions http://www.free-instruction-manuals.com/pdf/pa_458271.pdf

The water pipe is already burred 4ft below the garden, its a blue MPDE. The pipe in picture is for waste water from macerator. Its connecting into a brown 110 underground drain pipe that discharges into the house main manhole. Im told this doesnt fall under regs but i no longer trust this...

thanks for taking the time to reply, much appreciated

ok so I can leave the 90 bend in place, but I need to remove the rise at the end and just have the required fall from accros the 15m. What about burying this type of pipe. There are no issues there?

Hi Can someone advise me on how I should proceed with this. I had a builder do a garden office for me and toilet for me. He put in a macerator for the toilet (insisted we need one). But he has left it unfinished and I don't think he is coming back and I will have to fix it or get someone else...

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Yes all drains pass through the front manhole. But they connect under the house and enter the front manhole from the same pipe. Would you run both the office rainwater and waste to the same pipe to the man hole??

Because its a terrace house it must have been the only way (rather than build a soakway) for the extension rainwater to get from back to front of house where mains are.

Hi, We are building a garden room/office at the back of the garden. We are considering putting in a toilet, but there seems to be only one place to connect it and we are not sure its allowable. Our house is a terrace house and the manhole is at the front of the house. So we need to connect to...

Thanks for the feedback. Its dried out pretty well during the past week. But last night I ran the hose over the roof and gave it a good soaking. From what I can see water was pooling at the back of the room and must be coming up over the DPM into the room. There wasnt much of a gap left around...

Hi Ive search in lots of places but cant find a definitive answer to reassure me. I have some concerns about the base of the new garden room I am having built by some builders. It seems a bit cowboyish to me. The new room sits where the old shed and patio is. So the wooden base half sits on a...

Thanks for the replies. So I presume I need to get a plumber in to 1) recharge the storage tanks and 2) terminate the pipe from the pressure relief valve in a safe place. Which begs the question, once a pipe has been added to the relief valve and terminated somewhere, how in future would you...

Hi Thanks for taking the time to reply. I've attached the image again above. Does this look correct to you and back up your assumptions? Should this be terminated? Cheers Adrian

We had a Vaillant ecotec installed 5 years ago and its been serviced a couple of times since. We never had an issue with it, until about 2 months ago I noticed water leaking from it, which I traced back to what I think is the pressure relief value of the internal storage tanks. Its a white pipe...

I am looking for advise on the finish of the eaves of my rear ext flat roof. As can been seen from the image below it doesnt have a drip batten at the eaves. The loft and rear extension were built at the same time. The roofer however has left a drip batton between fascia and edge for the...
