Hi @Hugh Jaleak @Madrab so update.. I went to dog out the trench so I could put the internal pipe in and have hit an old cast iron pipe which must of been the reason the grey pipe was not put in deeper. if I bring a pipe out here I will have the same problem and it won't be needed deep...

Thanks mate Going to try and achieve something like this

would I only need the water Co permissions if I change anything within the chamber? or would I still need permissions if I chopped into the stack underground between the bend and chamber

so have found out that this manhole services the property to my left and 2 properties to my right so they all join in. could I just dig a channel internally and lay the soil pipe at a fall of 1 in 80 and come out of the wall and cap off and then do all the digging around Feb to connect to the...

thanks mate I'll get the drain cover and take some photos

thank for your help guys! really appreciate it I have the floor going down in the next 2 weeks but won't have the time to do the outside work. I'm planning on getting the internal pipping doing and then just cap it off outside until I can get everything dug up etc. would I just need to...

Hey mate how does it work connecting down stream would I need come out past the stack under the pavers channel along side the stack and then connect in-between the bend and the inspection chamber

a bit more exposed

perfect thanks mate I will get it all exposed and take some photos I could deffo move the toilet to the opposite end of the cloakroom which would move it down by up to a metre away from the original stack.

Thanks Exedon so If I was to dig out the 135° bend and replace it could I then connect into the 135° bend, not sure if they make 135° bends with a connector
