Hi All,

I've been asked to quote for installing an en-suite. The proposed location for the new WC makes it nigh on impossible to connect to the soil pipe. So it's a macerator to get the waste away. My question is, do Building Regs need notifying for this installation? I know they do if I was to connect to soil pipe in the regular way, but not sure about it with macerator, I couldn't find it on the planning Portal.

Any advice would be much appreciated thanks.

Hi Rob, take a look at saniflo - installations (sorry can`t add the link) the info you want is there regarding electrics part P, building control and some other building info that means nothing to me as I only repair / service the little buggers but hopefully will be what your looking for.
PS Make sure your on the UK page
 
If it is a new en-suite then it is a change of use and will have to be building regs for the lot regardless of the type of connection.
 
as erpkid said if there wasn't a bathroom/en suite before then its notifiable.

Thanks for that guys. It's a new en-suite,she partitioning off part of her bedroom to give upstairs loo basin and shower. The property has a downstairs bathroom at the mo.

Whose responsibility is it to notify, mine or the customer?
 
The customer is the one liable if they can't sell later but they usually expect the contractor to do it. Have a word with building control, it is a simple form as you should be able to do it on a building notice as long as the building isn't listed.
