OK, so here are the images as promised. The 3d image shows the house with the existing soil stack in black and the proposed horizontal soil run in blue. The following image shows the plan of the first floor of the house, and shows the side the road runs on and drain access.

Thanks skenk, the insulation debth is likely to be 140 mm, would this cause any issues i.e would the cable be derated etc?

Hi All, I am currently renovating a master bedroom which is part of an extension with a flat roof. I have had to take the ceiling down so some structural work could be completed and am taking the opportunity to insulate with celotex boards with add a vapour barrier. My question relates to...

Hey Rich, Sorry for the late reply, this is the first chance all weekend i've had free to get online! i've just read my last post and realised I didn't give enough detail about the plans. Then master bedroom is on the second floor and the room modelled next to it is a walktrough...

I'll second that, thanks again Richard this advise will be invaluable to my future project. As promised her are some plans to scale of the proposed ensuite and some 3D mock-ups.

Thanks again Rich, you have provided me with loads of information to go on, I can't believe how naive I was when I first started to think about this project! In regards to the toilet and basin, I was planning on using corner units to maximise space, it’s just in the package I was using to...

Cheers, much appreciated. :D

Wow! Thanks Rich, that gives me loads to go on. I have quickly drawn up a plan of the proposed layout (not to scale). I am proposing to add a horizontal run to the existing soilstack for the toilet waste (which will pass under a window; would that be an issue as from what I have read the...

Hi Rich, In that case I don't suppose you could give any advice on how you went about things? I am still in the planning stage and am unsure about the best order to go about installing the ensuite. I was thinking get stud work up, then run pipe work into cavities for shower/basin, install...

Thanks again, The bedroom is directly above the kitchen and I have no plans to replace the ceiling in there, so access from below is out of the question! As the stud is being erected for an ensuite I am enclined to put in the extra work and add the required support noggins so the floor...

Thanks noseall, In regards to running pipe work, i assume it would therefore to be best to run the pipes to the point where they will meet the stud cavity, then secure the floor boards, secure the sole plate, build the stud and then continue the pipe work into the cavity?

Hi All, I am planning to build an ensuite in my master bedroom and am unsure as to whether i should secure the sole plate right on the joists or on the floor boards. Most sources I have read say to just secure the sole plate to the floorboards, but as I will be taking up the floor to run pipe...

Hi All, I posted a similar question before, but didn’t get any replies. Looking back I think I was asking for too much advice at once and so thought I would break it down into something more straight forward. I am attempting to renovate a master bedroom which is part of a 2 storey...

I have been attempting to renovate the master bedroom of my property, which is a 2nd storey extension with a flat roof. The layout of the room is a little strange as there is a walled off section in one corner, as you can see by the plan. I wanted to remove this wall to open the room up and...
