I'm considering to build an en suite in the attic room of my house. Its a 1890s terrace fairly standard in the North of England. There is pipework up to the attic level since there was previously some sort of tank or immersion heater in the attic so it should be able to be plumbed in. My concern is around the soil pipe and if its feasible to fit one.
I've had a look at the building regs and spoken to the council who confirm the proposed site of the en suite would be within the 6m max distance to Soil Stack required of a soil pipe. But I want to know, since the eaves of the roof meet the wall at the floor level, would it be possible to take the soil pipe out through the attic space, or would I need to drop down through the floor into the level below. I assume doing this would be visible in the room below and I want to avoid it if possible.
A cross section of proposal, what the space looks like, and what it would look like, birds eye proposal of the room. Thanks!
