Just about hardcore/concrete etc new kitchen floor. I've got the 110mm waste pipe in place for the kitchen island, do I need anything other than a 90 rest bend and 110m pipe coming up out the floor for the above ground plumbing/traps etc?

Hey @CBW Yeah think that might work, I'll do a bit more digging to see if there are any others in the way. I've circled the pipe on new pic

Hi Everyone, We're in the middle of a part self build extension and come to light we'd need to reposition the svp to avoid an awkward pipe run through the new roof. Dug out the ground to where rhe groundsworkers have placed the drain run to reposition the svp. On digging out thought I was in...

Sorry for confusion meant I was happy to box in the soil pipe across the wall in the bathroom tbh. It'll run where the black mark is on the image above. Think although it'll be a bigger box internally it'll lead to less hassle long term. Just puzzling how to join the bath waste but think it'll...

I'm happy to box the pipework in internally and think that's gonna be best option, running the bath/sink into the svp in the current position leaves them horizontally passing through roof and think it's asking for leaks. Would you have the soil pipe run past the area where the bath waste comes...

Hey @Hugh Jaleak, Yeah gonna move the SVP outside the footprint of the house. In hindsight, think we should have done that but it's only really come to light for me one the walls are up and can see the position of the roof at the front. The new SVP will be further forward, corresponding...

Any ideas how best to get divert the bath pipe to the new stack? I was gonna go with the toilet soil into the svp at far point under the bath but this would mean soil runs straight across where bath waste currently goes and don't think joining straight into the side was the best idea incase...

Hadn't thought of it tbh. Felt I needed a 90 pan connector to turn in the space between back of toilet and wall and then other 90 straight into the back of the SVP with easier core hole to bore I guess, but 2 x 45's at the SVP end poss less prone to clog. Thanks both tho, nice to know what I...

Hey everyone, We're currently having an extension built, doing a fair bit ourselves and would like to move the svp outside the extension As it currently sits it'd end up going through a new roof along with the waste from the sink and bath. The roof pitch would cross just where there waste for...

Tbh I could still reposition the SVP, I've dug a trench to replace lead water line with MDPE and it's revealed most of the inspection chamber and drain anyway. The slab atm needs insulation, UFH and screed yet so could just discontinue that small section of pipe and bury it under the floor and...

Hey @Madrab, You mean run the SVP infront of the foundation? Where the pink line is? BC saw drains when the groundsworkers were in and happy for them to continue. There is an inspection chamber just out of view to left of the foundation wall and I've since fitted a access socket to the base...

Think that might end up being the best solution, means a fair upheaval in the bathroom to fit the new pipework which we could do without atm as hasn't planned on redoing that room for a while. If it needs to be done it needs to be done tho. I can't see how a horizontal lead tile wouldn't leak or...

Hi, We're in the middle of building and side extension. At the front there is to be a pitched roof (approx where the dotted line is on the picture). I understand that the 110mm soil pipe is able to pass through vertically using a lead tile or something similar. But how about the 40mm...

Hey @^woody^ We're extending a wall along it's length. In the end the returning wall is to be knocked through to open up the rooms. The brickie has attached wall starters to the external skin of the wall like in the pic (but cut the cavity open between wall starter's to continue it with...

Hey, Having wall extended and adjacent wall knock through. Brickie has put wall starter on outer skin and then said just cement a brick in the space down the back to fill in the spacing? Thoughts? Will this suffice or need start again and attach it to the end of the internal skin? Cheers everyone

Can you use wall starters off the end of a skin of brickwork to continue it to account this?

It's a bit of a awkward wall. The existing wall has a 9inch solid wall in imperial at the base (1) with a metric 250mm cavity wall above (2) from a previous extension. We're extending this wall along it's length and the continuing down the side of the house . The guys have built up from dpc in...

Pics to go with

Hi, Our rear wall is being extended and return wall being knocked down to increase size of kitchen (1) BCO has advised that the cavity needs opening up and skins toothing together to continue wall. Builder says he can't tooth in as the gauge of the old blockwork to the new doesn't match...

Cheers @^woody^ (y) As it is drawn is currently how it is being put up
