I'm wondering if it's possible to get a wee toilet up in the (already converted) loft room in our house and if there are ways to do most of the work myself to save dosh.
NO MACERATORS! Too many tales of gross problems on t'net.
There is currently a sink already in the room, but in the wrong place for a waste pipe, so I'd like to run the water supply pipes under the floor to the other side of the room, where it should be easier to connect a toilet to the existing waste pipes below. I am assuming there's a need to get a plumber in for the pipework.
One question is that the rooms downstairs have just been renovated/finished, so I absolutely don't want any work encroaching into them. This might be a sticking point as the floor of the room i@m pretty sure is above the level of the soffits outside, so no wall beside the room to affix a pipe to.
I can buy a basic toilet/sink/mirror unit and learn to tile sufficiently, then if a plumber sets up the inlet/outlet water supplies and the toilet waste I'd like to do the rest myself.
There's no dormer on this side if the room... is it possible to run an extractor vent through the roof? Or should a dormer be factored into this? I'd attempt the joinery myself - stud wall, door etc. The whole room needs the ceiling boarded and the eaves turned into better storage anyway.
I just want to do things in the correct order and avoid attempting anything that's going to end up a mess/more costly than if I'd got someone in at the start!
It sounds pretty much what we have. I've just finished renovating the small shower room in the attic which the previous owner fitted. They had to lower the ceiling a bit in the bathroom underneath to hide the soil pipe to go out through the wall. Extractor goes through the roof. No dormers up there and I've used the eaves for extra storage easily enough.
