Soil pipe dilema...

[ochickey]

Hi there I am trying to configure the plumbing for a new bathroom layout and the toilet needs to move 90 degrees from its current position. I have attached a photo which shows my problem. How would I go about getting the soil connection into the new position? My plan might be to run it above floorboard level and box it in so that it doesnt interfere with the bath/sink wastes etc. I think the simplest way to do this might be to remove plasterboard boxing from the stack in the cloakroom below.

Please advise!

Yes, run it above the floor and box it in. Even if you were able to move the other waste pipes you wouldn't be able to notch the joist for the WC waste below floor level.

thanks for the reply. Ive fitted bathrooms before but never dealt with soil pipes. Is it a difficult job? Any tips?

cheers.

A cut pipe is difficult to fit into the socket so smooth the lip with a belt sander or whatever and use fairy liquid. Other than that it's just the same as the smaller stuff.
