Retrospective Building Regs for understsirs toilet

Anonymous user 01/03/2024 - 2.52 PM

We bought an end of terrace house in the South East 6 years ago and the previous owner put a toilet under the stairs. This toilet has no building regulations sign off but appears to meet regulations in terms of space, sink and fan. The soil pipe is under the kitchen in straight line joining the kitchen waste pipe. A durgo is fitted outside. We plan to be in the house many years and wanted to know if it would be possible to get the regulations sign off retrospectively when we refurbish downstairs next year? What would this involve? All the downstairs is solid floor and tiles but will be lifting all the tiles and removing old kitchen next year. Any advice would be great. Would a camera recording of pipework be enough to satisfy a building inspector if we can’t access the soil pipe under concrete floor?
