Conservatories are still a popular choice for homeowners looking to expand the space within their homes without the hassle of moving or converting an existing space. The investment not only adds a functional space but also value to the property, making it a worthwhile investment. However, sometimes spanners are thrown in the works, such as soil pipes. Can you install a conservatory around a soil pipe? If so, how?
While it does present a challenge, it is possible to design and install a conservatory around a soil pipe. It just requires some careful planning and the right approach.
At Ecozenic, we are conservatory specialists working with you to design and build a bespoke conservatory that meets your needs and matches the style and feel of your existing home. We have been helping homeowners create additional usable space for over 20 years, and during this time, have faced a range of problems. One common challenge we have faced is designing conservatories around a soil pipe.
In this article, we share how you can install a conservatory around a soil pipe.
Is it Possible to Install a Conservatory Around a Soil Pipe?
Soil pipes carry wastewater from toilets, sinks, and other plumbing fixtures and are usually located on the external wall of a home.
As the nature of conservatories means they expand from an existing exterior wall of a kitchen or bathroom, a soil pipe often falls within or near the planned conservatory area.
This means that one of the first things we will look at when starting to design your conservatory will be where the soil pipe is and how it will impact the construction.
Of course, it is worth clarifying that it is possible to create a conservatory around a soil pipe; it just involves working around a few considerations.
Key Considerations for Working Around a Soil Pipe
When working around a soil pipe, there are a number of things we will consider.
- Accessibility - the pipe needs to be accessible for maintenance and repairs should something happen to the plumbing, so when designing your conservatory, we will consider how we can hide the pipe while leaving it easy to get to.
- Ventilation - ventilation is required to prevent sewage gas buildup and stop odours from creating an unpleasant smell in your new space.
- Structural integrity - the conservatory needs to be structurally stable while accommodating the pipe, so we will factor it in when discussing foundations, load-bearing, weatherproofing and structural support.
