I don't think so.... the door frames & roof only got put on last Tuesday afternoon and completed last Thursday. The builders didn't mention anyone coming around to take measurements and and my wife didn't notice either. So I am assuming that came the previous week. The email says... I have...

Hi, Bit of background info... I put in a planning application for a two storey side extension last October which didn't include a porch, because I hadn't planned to have one and it didn't come across my mind. Anyway the application has still not been process due to the case worker who it was...

Any idea how to route the new downstairs bathroom and kitchen waste?

I want/was thinking of moving the drain pipes due to it being at an angle, thought it would be better that if was straight run through the foundations.

Yeah, I'm keeping the wall that its currently, I'm going to put the UFH pumps and valves on this wall as it is a central location and easy to feed the UFH pipes into. the who thing will be boxed. So it acts as a divider between the kitchen and living/dining area.

Just had a thought, the connection from the SVP to the manhole, towards the end, I should be able to shutter that as its the last bit of the run? Correct?

Hi, Hope someone can help.... I am planning my self build extension and the issue of the drains is taxing my brain. On the diagram you will see the proposed layout of my build. The dotted line is where the rear wall currently is. The red line and red square is the shared sewer with the manhole...
