Thank you all for your help.

I've measure it all up again and I think that, if like you say, I take the
plaster off the wall, sit the pipe right against the wall I should be OK. I
found that the worktop I'm installing is 616mm deep rather than 600mm, this,
aswell as removing the plaster has bought me enough space.

If I need to grab an extra 5-10mm I will make a *small* recess in the wall.
I checked exposed brick work and the wall is a 9" partition wall so nicking
10mm shouldn't be a problem (According to a build mate anyway!). There is
actually a pipe already recessed in this way.

Cheers,
Ian.

So this will work ?, there will be enough natural preasure to keep the
flow running?

I guess that the only problem will be food waste etc. getting stuck at
the "up" point. It's a 40mm pipe BTW.

Right. It escaped me it was a sink waste. Have you got easy access to
either end of the lowest part? You could fit rodding ends - these have
screw fitting end caps.

If I can recess the pipe though I assume this would be better?

It would, but cutting such a chunk out of a wall may not be a good idea.
Might be that merely removing the plaster (if there is any) behind the
pipe, and not using any brackets so the pipe sits flush against the wall
might give just enough clearance.
