Joining 2 toilet waste pipes
My house has a shower room with a toilet and another room with a bath. I want to convert the bathroom to an en suite and add a toilet. The toilets would be on the same external wall about 4 metres from each other. Can i join the new pipe to the existing pipe from the outside by simply angling it over 4 meters or should it go into the soil pipe in the floor? If I can angle it is there specifications I need to meet? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Remove toilet fix uneven floor boards
Plumber we used in 2023 rushed and done a poor job bodged everything. I told him the patchwork old and new floor boards are uneven heights. Told him I’d bought new floorboards to make good of floor, to which he didn’t use. He didn’t listen, no pride in his work. He chipped the edges when bodging my brandnew waterproof laminate. No expansion gap. So the toilet sits on wobbly uneven floor. The new flooring is creaking moving so water can ingress into the gaps. Tiny bathroom 1.5 m square. Floorboard area to replace make good is roughly 1 metre square which the toilet sink combination sits on. Flooring underneath bath area isn’t affected probably ok. How much should I pay to take out toilet, fit new section of floorboards refit relay the plastic laminate refit plum the toilet back in ? Are there any plumbers with carpentry flooring skills experience near oldbury ?
