Installing soil pipe parallel to wall by removing some internal bricks

    [font=Verdana, sans-serif]A soil pipe from a toilet in a 1930s cavity wall brick house cannot go directly out the wall as it would go out under the kitchen roof. The soil pipe has to therefore run at a slight downwards angle a distance of 1 metre from the toilet to a location on the wall where it could go out and not hit the kitchen roof.[/font]

    [font=Verdana, sans-serif]The soil pipe cannot run internally as it is an extremely small bathroom, and it can't run under the floor due to the direction of the floor joists.[/font]

    [font=Verdana, sans-serif]I've just discovered there are devices known as macerators, which possibly might be the solution in this instance. I know nothing about them so I'll have to do a little reading up on them.[/font]

    [font=Verdana, sans-serif]However my initial thought was that perhaps three rows of bricks (about 1 metre in length) could be removed from the internal wall only, an RSJ could be installed and the soil pipe could be installed below this so that it's inside the wall, and then finished off with plaster board, plaster, cement (I don't know) to hide it.[/font]

    [font=Verdana, sans-serif]I was wondering if there were any thoughts on this possibility? Thanks![/font]

    As above, especially as it is the inner leaf.

    Problem is ongoing:D

    The "moulinex" option results in a smaller pipe, with a fair bit of noise at night and messy maintenance issues when extraneous stuff gets flushed.
