Hi All,

I am currently undergoing some renovations at my place. My builder is installing an ensuite to the rear of our building where the kitchen and main bathroom is located. The pipes are at the same location.

Looking at the picture my builder is planning on the soil and drain pipes coming from where the red watering can on the right is. The 4mx100mm soil pipe will join the existing one by the orange bucket with the drain pipe ending up with the others by the orange bucket.

We have raised flooring so the pipe could go underneath the ensuite through the adjacent bathroom, avoiding the long 4m pipe at the back of our house but i am worried about if we ever need to replace or fix this the work involved would be a lot me difficult but having the pipes outside doesn't look great.

Has anyone got any opinions on the best route to go with reasons.

I'm not a plumber or builder so I am just googling trying to find ideas
 
looking at that stack you could probvably get anothe spigot branch below the existing save having to raise the floor

Hi all. Hope you have all been keeping well. A while back I decided I only wanted to fit one brand of boiler and decided on Viessmann due to space for servicing and changing parts if ever needing to. I am finding my decision rather hard due to the different clearances on flue runs and cupboards...
