    Bathroom relocation

    Thank you very much for your responses/advice. Are all the frames compatible with all toilets? I have checked the Geberit, but there seem to be at least 3/4 options, and not sure what I should buy. Any recommendation? Also, there seems to be a huge variation in price from different suppliers...

    Bathroom relocation

    Basically to keep everything tidy and take the vent pipe to the loft. Honestly I could box it out to the loft outside of the partition wall, but thought that maybe it is a good idea to have thick stud wall to support the wall mounted WC and use that cavity to bring the vent pipe to the loft...

    Bedroom with no direct window

    Yeah, you are right. For us it would be ok as we can keep the velux open whenever we want so light and air will come through....but I don't want to spend money on extending the bathroom if we are actually decreasing the overal value of the house (one "room" less).

    Move light switch

    That's what my original idea, but was not 100% sure whether I could do that. The cable comes from the ceiling vertically to the current location. I guess the location of the switch is a corner. Can share another picture of the room. If I were to do this, how could I join the cable so I can...

    Move light switch

    Thanks all, kinetic is definitely an option, but I wanted to install a smart switch as the rest of the house and I could not find anything which can work as a kinetic and smart switch. If you guys know about anything would be really helpful.
