I'm thinking of installing a small en-suite consisting of a shower, toilet and basin, in the corner of a bedroom. The corner in question is approx. 9 metres from the soil stack (and all waste would have to be routed internally). Would all the appliances have to go through the saniflow, or just the toilet?
I'm wanting a "wetroom" kind of arrangement (due to space constraints), but with a visible shower tray, so that the tiled floor would have a slight slope into the tray (fillets of wood would provide the slope i need, and the step down to the tray, which would sit on the existing floor). I'm thinking of a floor hatch on the opposite side of the partition wall, with the shower waste against the wall.
BUT, with this arrangement, I couldn't use a saniflow since water cant travel uphill to it from the shower!
I could route a soil pipe (or a smaller shower drain pipe) down the wall of the reception room below bedroom 2, boxed in and insulated, but would rather not do this - where would the pipe go from there (there is a 3 foot void under the house), and it'd need venting. All the drainage from the house currently goes into the only soil stack.
And would this need notifying to building control? (I would feel confident doing most of the work myself, if not all, and My uncle is a plumber)
Attached is a plan of the proposed room. Would size be an issue? Would it be better to simply tank the room instead of the shower tray solution? There isn't space for a cubicle. (For size reference, a toilet and basin just fits against that back wall in the corner where I've drawn them)
