If you are lucky you might be able to break the elbow out and connect a loo closer to the wall.

Rather you than me though.

You might be able to put it in the left hand corner, good luck with getting it into the right hand side unless you're planning to box the soil pipe in, and even then I'm not convinced with a bend of more than 90º it'd work very well

Just lay off the curries...

 

[skinters]

no worries

if i was looking at just moving it closer against the wall would that be much of a problem ?

no probs, get a bent flexible pan connector, it'll do the job.

What's happening with the pipework behind the plywood?

 

[skinters]

its the vent stack m8,it carries on through the roof .i want to return it outside to make room for a vanity unit .

Bit difficult to tell from the picture - but is there anyway you could move the stack outside, to the side of the window for example. Then you could rearrange your bathroom more easily.

Sorry, misunderstood. Since you are moving that stack outside, you can bore a new hole for any soil pipe you want and fit the wc of any description where you want.

ahh right ,well the soil stack is inside it comes in through the kitchen,and carries up through the bathroom as you see.its way to much hassle to take out the whole thing,and the part that goes through the kitchen has been boxed in and plastered, tiles etc.

im just thinking of teeing it off from the bathroom.

the other thing im not sure about is when i remove the pipe from the inside there gonna be a hole through the roof,was thinking of somehow cutting it in the attic space and leaving the end in,somehow capping it off outside.

Only problem there will be what's supporting it from underneath since you don't want it flapping around. If you can get up there, which youwould have had to to cap it off, it's probably just as well to remove the pipe and, if you're not happy abount mucking around with slates/tiles, cap off the (lead?) tile slate.

just going to prop it up with some boards,and cap it off outside .i live in one of them prefab matchboxes,complete with metal roof.

i got a pretty good idea what to do,thing is i got a building inspector coming up to give the go ahead to return the stack outside,i just want to be clued up just incase he says i cant do it .
