Moving Kitchen - Advice needed

[parfour]

Newbie on here so be kind.

Currently scoping out a move of our kitchen from the front of our house to the back room. This will obviously involve new drainage for sink/dishwasher (along with other stuff like water/electrical/gas etc) ....Have loads of questions but i guess the first is if its doable..

Attached is a noddy diagram of the layout of the current drainage system.



To my (untrained/simplistic:rolleyes2🙂 mind there are 2 possible routes...but there may be more?:

• new pipework out side wall, new trench along boundary and tie into main manhole, out to street...or
• tie into existing stack through floor

I realise that step 1 is to engage the assistance of a qualified individual but i thought i would reach out to the community here first for any immediate thoughts or advice.

Any advice welcome received!

Run the sink waste in 2" clip it to the wall with strap band and hair felt and dont buy a kitchen from ikea as they dont have a service area behind the units and there waste kits are a joke. howdens have a 75mm gap and are good...

there could be a lot of unforeseen problems with your plans in an ideal world you could run it in 2" to within a meter or so of the sink but I would advise you to get a reputable plumber round to advise you

Depends where you would want to put all your appliances as 2"inch waste would stop them sitting back internally

Thanks for all the responses.....dont think perimeter will work as there is a door along the wall and the plan is to put up a stud wall to create a smaller front room (kids) where the kitchen is now....my bag as my original noddy diagram wasnt detailed enough....have modded it adding those features....

What's to the right of the house?

an alley or another house?

can you show the layout of the existing kitchen (units) and the extent of the intended kitchen (hatched)?

for best layout we may need to think "outside the box" and don't forget there's more ways to kill a cat

put in all existing doors and windows and as a matter of interest do you have combined (surface an foul) drains to main, or do you have separate systems?

I can't comment on plumbing, but did you know you need to notify the Building Control dept of your local authority and show that you are complying with all the Building Regulations.
Tell them before you start the work.

2 options, core drill out of new loction and have a possibly silly looking run of pipe on the outside of the house and then drill back into exsisting stack....all depending whats outside your property. Digging your floor up internally is a bad idea. (Many problems) Or the trench as you explained it before with new waste laid in and tap into existing.

looking again at the picture... cheapest option would definately be the 1st mentioned, run of waste externally along wall and core drill back through wall and into exsisting stack. No need to call building control.
