I live in a typical two up two down house with a rear extension with the bathroom at the back of this. The bathroom being at the back makes for some chilly winters mornings so I intend to move the bathroom to the back room of the downstairs of the mainhouse so that I have a walkthrough corridor through the house to the rear extension that will become kitchen/dining area.
The side alley is clear and I am hoping to build outwards (prob next year) into this alley to make the rear extension full width to the garden end with a light well to the bathroom in the middle of the house.
My question is as a competent DIY'er is the laying of the drain and an IC (none yet, presuming just a collar onto main sewer in garden) something that can be done. If I am required to lay the new drain up the side too deeply then I would be relcutant due to the risk of disturbance to next door and own walls. What is the minimum depth that the new pipe could be laid?
