Possibly both a plumbing and paving query.

See photos:

The single black pipe is my kitchen sink and the other 2 black pipes are my dishwasher and boiler.

I had the plumbing done in an emergency as we needed to move in and paving was not a priority (although we did do it with paving in mind)

Now I need to put paving in and where the pipe goes low down near the floor it is going to stop me paving as it is right in the way of the level of the paving..


I might be able to raise the pipe slightly so it is right under the threshold of the door and so overall the sideways pipe is above the paving but it is the bend that is a bit brutal - is there a softer bend I could get?

Other thought is to put it underground but just under the black stuff you can seen is the 'underground' brown connector and I don't think I can put any sort of connector on it and it will be covered in concrete or similar.

Paving around what is already there will be a mess.

Also I am assuming the bit at the bottom which is a strap on boss is all glued on so I will have to destroy it to get it off?

Any ideas?
 
Build a timber step or small deck to cover the piping and have the paving beyond that.

If you want to hide the pipes, you will have to redo the lot.
