    No problem.
    Most decent plumbing shops will be able to get you what you want.
    Pipe will have to be a three or four meter length though.

    About 20 years ago, 3" soil pipe was commonly used and was cheap to buy. Unfortunately due to lack of demand these days, it has become very expensive and far more expensive than the larger 4" pipe.

    Drain/Plumb Center sell it as will most major plumbers merchants.....but wait to be shocked at the price!

    Ask about Timesaver, which is an easy to fit cast iron coupling and will last longer than plastic. A small section of cast iron pipe could be sourced from a local scrap metal dealer.
