Hello
We are about to extend our kitchen. Single story extension.
I am scratching my head to make a pan for the drains. We have limited room for external inspection chambers and rodding points as our property and new extension will sit on the boundary on 3 sides.
- The new kitchen will be the area in blue on the plan, up to the boundary wall
- Green dotted kitchen = existing kitchen. This area has a bathroom above which will be retained. With the walls opened up on the first floor with steel beams.
- Red hashed = current single story utility room which will be demolished.
- Yellow dotted line = existing drains that run through our garden into a main sewer. We do not share drains with any other property.
- purple dotted line = proposed new drain from new bathroom, connecting to existing yellow drains. *
- The extension will build over an existing inspection chamber (red rectangle with x). Which we will do away with.
- The black rectangle is where we propose to put in a new inspection chamber outside
- It seems we may need a rodding point in the new bathroom?
- The current position of the stack is marked with two circles, would there be any problem if we wanted to move this?
Can anyone see any major issues here or additional points I should consider?
(* Should I consider replacing all the drain under the extension with new drains? For piece of mind? I could then also potentially move the drain nearer the outside wall in the extended kitchen so it can pick up new services?)
Other info
- house is 200 years old
- the new bathroom / bedroom is a 70's garage. Which we are converting into accommodation
- existing green kitchen is also 70's built
