I am reconfiguring my bathroom and need to move the location of the toilet waste pipe and the waste vent pipe, from inside the room to outside. At the moment it goes up through the roof and is boxed in on the inside of the outside wall. I need the space and want to move it to the other side of the wall, (outside).

The floor is concrete and the pipework plastic.

Any help greatly appreciated as I can't afford to pay someone to do this and have never done this before, but I am experienced in DIY

Ok, this is the first time I have tried this, lets see if I can explain myself better..

I have a vent pipe that runs up the inside of an external wall. I want to move it the other side of the wall so it's outside. Can I do that?

Second, I am moving the position of the toilet. Bathroom is ground floor, in a bungalow and is concrete. How do I move the position of the waste pipe about 2 metres in a straight line to the new toilet position?

Is that any good?

Yes, vents can run outside, it's quite common in Ireland. You move the waste pipe by cutting, chopping or whatever the concrete to expose the line, cut a trench to the new location and install new piping and floor flange. 6 ft. is not that easy for a DIY 'R
