If you can do such a good job without a core drill imagine what a goog job you would do with a core drill get one on Christmas list.

Done the same kind of thing in me own house. Handy enough but hard work when you do it all yourself but well worth it..keep the videos coming big man..and keep her lit

Really this job is not the best or right way. But this dude looks honest and hard worker .keep it up mate !!

Currently doing this job for our new bathroom! This video has given me the confidence to do it myself. Cuts complete, part way through break out, but the hardcore under the concrete pad is extremely hard so I need to hire a breaker!! Looks like you got off lightly on the break out. Top job.

Just think a few issues should highlighted to those thinking of doing the same. 1) The new length of soil pipe should be accessed for rodding. Using a bend with rod access would have easily made that possible. 2) Burying water pipe connectors should always be avoided, especially plastic push fit 3) Push fit elbow fitting under the slab isn't a good idea, they can and do fail which means the floor coming up again 4) Building control must be involved with change of use of room in this way, and they must see evidence of correct construction including fall.

Hey very interesting...been thinking about a down stairs toilet..thought I needed a saniflo, this seems the way forward. thanks for the share bud..😀

Nice one

does the pipe for the toilet not need to be on a decline to make sure you dont get a build up?

Great video, I was doinf the same job to my own house and this was a great help.

We are having similar work done. Our soil pipe is internal and is in the middle of our dining room boxed up. The specialist said we can link pipe to the stack 1.2 metres deep slope to our closet under stairs. I'm a bit scared as they need to make rough 4 meters of digging. Being inside the house it's making me nervous. They are fully insured and are registered with trading standards. They said they have scanning machines to check in case any pipes under the concrete. Is there anything else I need to consider?

Is it not a problem for water-main to direct feed a cistern?

Looks OK. I wouldn't have buried those push fit 90 though. Either copper throughout of JG flexi plastic. Also 2 cold feeds? Can't you just T into the sink cold feed for the toilet? Also a 5" core will save you patching brick work in the future.

Fantastic video mate, I want to exactly the same thing.Can you tell me what fittings you used to connect into the Cast soil pipe ? Do you have a video of how you did that ?

Good job, apart from the outside wall pal why didn’t you use a core drill, food for thought.

how deep do you dig into the garden for a pipe from shed to house?

Good job but a bit of constructive criticism you should bury the push fit fittings underfloor as you can't get to them if in the future they leak you should of pushed them full lengths to above floor level in a conduit say flexible corrugated stuff used on under floor heating cheap as chips from toolstation screwfix etc and saves hassle in future.

so it's not just me that gets them tricky jobs then nice one

Hi Chris. Seriously question. Do you know who can do exactly this in Wales? My friend wants to conversation her storage room into the toilet. Plenty of plumbers, but noone wants to do the digging part. Would be greatful for any info. Many thanks 😊

what is the mix for the concrete to finish the top of the trench?

i was thinking about getting one but to get to the soil stack it would need to run past the front door...i guess it would need to go under the flagstones?

Nice work. That's awesome. Are you based near the Portsmouth area? I could surely need your help and advice on a similar project please.

Looks a good job that chris. I saw on another video where the soil pipe should have a horizontal drop of 1 in 40, is that right, so that the solids get taken away by the water better? I've also a metal soil pipe but theres a small hole where its corroded a little bit right where its going into the ground at the bottom, so i'm thinking i could use a plastic piece like what you've done there to repair the bottom section instead of a complete new plastic soil pipe.

If you can put a soil pipe in do it, never get a saniflow, they are crap. Good job mate. You should have seen the pipe run we had to do to get a soil in. 12m run with a 8cm drop, they said it couldn't be done, but we did lol

Where does the waste go? Do the pipes attach to the existing sewage pipe?

Nice solution. Saniflos are shite. You need some rodding/access on the base of the stack and the 4 inch bend. The branch pipe looks like it could be over the maximum permitted length; 6 meters I believe for 4 inch. If you sleeve the hot and cold pipe work it's then removable and gets you around the water regs, I'd insulate swell - you don't want the hot water warming the cold water or you have a potential for pathogens. If your adding a toilet part G says you need a wash basin too. Theres some chat about door ways and ventilation as well. Just a little nod from a plumber to a builder, I'm sure you've got covered though.

@scottcalvert2984

Kris Rickson thats true but then your using the wrong tool, core bits require variable speed drills which puts the cost up even more!

If you ever bury water pipework in a screed, hot or cold, and it is not easily or readily accessible by removing the surface covering it must be ducted with no fittings. Last thing the homeowner will want is that speedfit elbow to be leaking in the floor. You can get pipe-in-pipe for this purpose, if it's not in a chase etc. Water Regs cover all this, the amount of leaks I've been to where a builder did the plumbing, to a kitchen island or wherever the last 10yrs is unreal. So are the prices to cure usually.
