Moving pipework

    I have some awkward pipework I'd like to tidy up to let me install some kitchen units in our utility room. As you can see in the images below, the pipework (drain pipe from the washing machine) is currently making two turns before connecting to the waste stack. I'd like to make this a straight line to the housing, and then have a single turn moving the connection on the stack 90 degrees to the left.

    Can anyone tell me what I'd be looking at to get this done by a pro? Or if it's something I should be able to accomplish easily enough myself?

    This is Not a job for someone with no experience in sewer stack pipework.
    If you live in an apartment and this is a shared stack you could very easily cause water damage to both your and other people's property.
    I am afraid that this is a job for the Pro only.

    It's a private house but, yeah, assumed I was out of my depth trying to DIY it.

    Any idea of what I should be paying to get it done in North Dublin?

    Easier just to cut slot out of side of press unit.
    Units also have a dead space behind them to allow for pipework,

    The way it is arranged at present means that you will be able to rod it from the front if it blocks, so I would try to avoid moving it if you can avoid it, and cut that hole in the side of the unit as suggested to make everything neat and tidy.
