    Grand job... The guy who wants to build it is convinced you cant have a waste pipe on the outside...he wanted to build a peaked roof on the existing ext and run it through there

    are you talking about running a toilet waste pipe over a flat roof extension?

    a photo would be a big help here

    As Syd alludes to above, the devil is in the detail! Not 100% sure what you mean by the above? Look around and will see lots of waste pipes on the outside of houses - more modern houses tend to have waste pipes located internally as they are not the most beautiful of things to look at.

    yes theres a flat roof extention which is the downstairs toilet...the new toilet will be in the room thats just above the flat roof....if we come out through the wall we are directly ontop of the flat roof...a worry id have is that there is not much of a fall from where the floor of the new toilet will be and the flat roof outside...will try to get a few pics up...cheers

    Is it possible to go sideways with the toilet pipe and bring it out at the gable end - away from the flat roof altogether
