Internal Soil Pipe

[dextrous]

That could be a BIG job and certainly not worth the hastle. Far easier pulling the front off the boxing and packing with glass wool.

I beg to differ, based on no knowledge of what the op has actually got .

Still think that it's a better solution than having a box sticking out in the living room. Really do recommend getting someone round to have a look.

Most late 60's, 70's built houses had the soil pipes internal and possibly in cast.
To alter to outside would need the drain digging up and a new stack run up. All connections from WC basin bath and possibly sink, would need to be cored through and re routed to outside.
All internal stuff taken away. Probably wall plastered where pipe box was as you can bet it is bare brickwork inside it. Ceiling and floor patched. Bathroom probably need a bit refinishing as the wastes from the bath basin will be in pipe boxes too.
About 3 days work for a few trades which should, with materials be under £1500.

A bit extreme for a £10 bag of fibreglass

I suppose we have to keep the work coming in these bad times but i'm afraid i suffer from a conscience

Thanks again guys, plenty of food for thought there.

Funds simply aren't there to consider moving it.

..... Probably wall plastered where pipe box was as you can bet it is bare brickwork inside it......

And a pound to a penny the plaster either side of the boxing is different depths, so you end up re-plastering the whole wall.....
