I've just bought my first house, and four weeks ago was the first time I held a paintbrush, so apologies in advance if my question is very basic. I've searched the forum and elsewhere but have been unable to find an answer to this - probably because I'm using the wrong terminology.
I have a 1910 mid-terrace ex-council house. The bathroom appears to have been added later on and is not part of the original structure. Among other things, we are removing the old bathroom suite and replacing it with a new one. We are on a fairly tight budget and are having to use a plumber for the fitting, however, I was impressed with the price of this suite http://www.plumbworld.co.uk/1608-15882. There is a note 3/4 down the page, notifying that "The toilet connects to the waste pipe through the wall in the standard UK fashion. It is not available in a version that connects to a waste pipe vertically through the floor." When we've looked, it seems that's exactly what we have, a soil/waste pipe that connects vertically to the floor.
What would you suggest as a way round this? Choose a suite that is configure to connect vertically and have a limited choice? Add some sort of T-pipe into the ground, or a snake-type pipe onto the back of the toilet?
Thanks in advance, Richard.
