Bathroom Plumbing

[poolieweb]

Hi

First of all I am new to the forum so hello to everyone.

The Project:

Moving an upstairs bathroom to produce more bedroom space. This new bathroom replaces the badly thought out design when originally moving the toilet from outside (Very old Mid Mews House).
The plan is to divide a bedroom in to two using two non- supporting walls. The newly created room will have no windows and will be fitted with a saniflow unit.

This where I need the advice:

Plumbing:

I have an upstairs combie boiler which is in an airing cupboard. My plan is to use push to fit plastic pipe from the boiler up into the loft space and then across to the new wall and down into the cavity. I know that at least a meter of copper pipe is needed before I can connect the hot water from the boiler.

Is this a good Idea?

Thanks Rich

Is the toilet you propose moving the only one in the house? If so, under Building Regulations, you are not permitted to use a Saniflo unit.

You will also have to provide mechanical ventilation to the new bathroom.

Suggest you contact your local Building Control dept and ask thier advice.
