There are weep holes in the blockwork above the lintel but other than that, ther is just the flat surface of the linte running back through the wall. The door frame currently sits about an inch below the linte. Havent fixed/foamed it yet as i wanted to confirm the detail incase i had to change it.

I have installed a set of bifold doors that are in a double thermalite cavity wall with a 4m long catnic steel lintel above. The doors are set back around 2" from the outside of the blockwork so I should be able to fit a corner bead down the verticals. Question is, how do I do the horizontal...

So i will run the 110mm in a straight line an come up for the WC. Basin should be able to connect to this above ground. Bath can T into this underground as can the shower Should i be using black soile pipe for all this or the terracotta colour. I can only see the boss pipe connnectors in...

No, there is nothing at the moment. just a 110mm pipe coming into the room underground (see image) The bath is the first thing to connect in, the 110mm will then run around the bathroom to the toilet, then basin, then shower and then vent

I figured the roof would stabilise it. Not a problem when i dont have a slab yet.
