Hi Folks,
We live in an old (1913) house, which has had a loft-bedroom from new. We're soon to begin a refurb of this loft room, as part of which, we'd like to install a basin (no space, or real desire, for a full en-suite, but a cloakroom sized basin will be useful).
As we recently had our bathroom redone, and had the loft in-mind at the time, I had the firm run hot & cold water feeds, plus a waste suitable for a basin into the loft room, currently all capped off.
Waste is in 40mm, and currently drops vertically through the ceiling, along the top of the wall (1.7m ish), then vertically down the wall inside (1m ish), then through the wall and drops into a hopper, which in turn drops into a drain outside the kitchen at the rear of the house.
The ideal location for the basin will be at the opposite end of the room to where the waste comes up through the floor. Joists run the right way to make the cross-room run easy, and there's sufficient space between ceiling and floor for the required gradient. The room is 3.5m long.
Assuming I used a standard bottle-trap beneath the sink, will what I've described above work, or is it likely to be problematic?
Many thanks!
Gavin.
