Moving an ensuite toilet from one wall to another

[curlyjules]

Hi. We have our ensuite toilet currently located on the outside wall in the ensuite. We want to move this 90 degrees to the inside wall that is perpendicular to the outside wall. Where the soil pipe would then sit is only a matter of about a foot and a half away, but it's the work involved that we're unsure of and the best person to ask to quote for the job. We're in a bungalow, and the toilet's current position doesn't give alot of space between it and the shower tray infront of it.

If you can imagine the toilet is currently on the short dotted line and we want to move it to the have its back against the long dotted line. I'd rather do this work now before we tile and put the shower cubicle in the ensuite rather than regret it later. can this be easily done?
Can anyone advise us please? many thanks

it depends whats where.

if the short lines is the o/s wall then position the toilet on the long lines and run the soil pipe to the o/s wall, having made a hole in the wall, and connect up tp the existing soil pipe/stack.

you need to check it can be done. soil pipe must rung down hill all the time. it can boxed in inside the bathroom.

Thanks. Yes the short lines represent an outside wall.
What do you mean by it can boxed in inside the bathroom?
We're just unsure what to do before we start about digging up the floor.
Can we connect the newly positioned toilet with the soil pipe from the toilet's old position (under concrete floor) keeping all work within the ensuite?
Or do we need to just forget about the soil pipe where it currently is and send the soil pipe out through the outside wall (under the concrete floor), which would then involve work both inside and outside the ensuite digging up the paving outside too?
cheers
