downstairs loo to be plumbed in how much?

How much roughly should I expect for this to be done? The water pipes I believe run behind the wall. I do have an electrics point but wonder if this could just be boxed in? If added a sink too how much would this be? Thanks

    We know nothing about your project. Was there a toilet there previously? Whete will the waste go to? How far away is the incoming water supply? Even with this, we wont know.

    The easy bit is tapping into the water and electric. The hard part is going to be the waste. These micro pumped systems get a lot of bad press, so will you need to start digging up the floor, or if you've an existing soil pipe outside, even then it could be difficult without enough fall.

    If you do not have an existing waste pipe, you will need building control involvement. Each council seems to have a different charge for this.
