Hi there. I have a soil stack running on the outside of the house. Can I add an extension to the house with the soil stack running through one interior wall of it? I would naturally box in the soil stack.
I have a durgo on mine at home terminating in the upstairs bathroom.
Building inspector said it was fine.
Have also done a few others like this.
But the majority are additions ie new ensuite etc, so like you say Tony there is another open pipe somwhere else
Assuming it is a plastic stack then yes. I wouldn't be keen to box in an existing iron and definately not an asbestos stack.
It was a requirement at one stage during 60's/70's that all new build properties contained the stack within the fabric of the building, rule was later relaxed again to allow external installation.
