Cutting plastic soil-pipe in confined space

[curium]

Hi

I need to move my toilet a few centimeters left to provide more space in front of the basin.

It's a back-to-wall toilet and the soil pipe is behind a partially tiled stud wall about 1 metre high that also has a bath abutting it so removing it is no small task

The toilet connects to the soil-pipe using one of those flexible concertina type pipes. Keeping the existing pipe work would require the flexible pipe to make a very small radius turn that does not look possible (I've not tried it yet as I've yet to remove the lower row of tiles and cut a new hole in the plasterboard).

The sensible option would seem to be to cut the plastic soil pipe back by 10 cm but with such a confined space, using a hacksaw is not possible. I can access the pipe via the exit hole for the flexible hose (after pulling it off)

Is there such a thing as a pipe-slice for a 4" plastic soil-pipe? Or some type of ratchet cutting device I could use?

Cheers for any help.

Cheers! That's actually quite useful.

I'll stop into B&Q and see if they sell wire saws, if not I'll try the nylon.
