I am about to connect 4 inch waste from a new attic conversion to an
external cast iron one. Currently it rises to above roof level. Some
questions:-

As my angle grinder wont cut thro 4 inches should I cut twice ie
make a sort of inspection hole and hacksaw the back or is there an
easier way. (for direct connection at attic floor level)
Should I replace all to ground level or to existing 1st floor
connections. Will new plastic fit inside old cast iron joints.

If you can separate it at a joint, then it is easy enough to put
plastic into an old cast iron collar.


Does one need to get PP or involve BC for replacement of a soil pipe?


PP only if its listed I would expect. New connections to soil pipes
possibly ought to be notified - not sure about replacement.
