How difficult to move a soil stack from rear of house?

    I was wondering if it would be a big job to move the soil stack at the rear of my house to the gable end (where another ensuite backs on to)?

    What sort of work would be involved?

    Our septic tank is located in the back garden, and there is a manhole on the driveway directly outside the ensuite window (in case this is important).

    Is it just a straight up pipe or what tees into it

    I know nothing about plumbing, so I assume that means its not a big job?

    Sorry, its just a straight pipe, nothing joins in with it.

    It comes out of the ground at the drain at the outside of my main bathroom. Its a 3" square pipe, led to believe these are meant to me 4" round.

    I can do a picture tomorrow

    Sounds more like a rainwater downpipe from the gutter.

    No it extends up above the gutter, its not connected to it at all.

    Here's a couple of pics

    1st one shows the 3 outlet pipes from bathroom (bath, sink, shower I assume) and the soil stack pipe off to the right

    2nd one shows the soil pipe itself, and how far its above the guttering.
