Hi. I want to put my washing machine in the garage which is separate from main house (about 8ft away). I need to run a water pipe out to the garage. How deep do I need to dig for the pipe? Also, I need to connect the waste pipe into the mains waste pipe which is ceramic. How would I go about this?
Thanks

You would cut the clay and use ‘bandselds’ to add in a plastic junction.

The water pipe ‘should‘ be 750mm deep but there are many shallower than that. I worked on one yesterday and there was a tee off to a tap and that ran at 150mm deep under a block paved drive.

Perhaps, but these are installed against water regulations.
