Hi
Looking to refurbish a manky old cloakroom and decided to do some investigation into what we currently have. So, I ripped away some wood panelling that was boxing in all the pipework.....and found a bit of an unexpected layout. (photos attached)
OK, so the first question is whether we could fit a close-coupled toilet pan/cistern around those pipes? My thinking is that it wouldn't work for two reasons:
1. The soil pipe couldn't be routed to the toilet because it approaches from the side.
2. The two other waste pipes (one comes from the kitchen and the other from the cloakroom sink) would be an obstruction to the toilet pan being closer to the wall.
Has anyone got any suggestions? Presumably, we might be better off buying a separate toilet pan and cistern to replace the current setup.
