Can anyone give a rough estimate of cost of getting a 2nd toilet added
to an older house in England, ie is this a straightforward or very
difficult thing to do?

It depends ... the main problem is usually getting the 4" soil pipe from
the toilet to the sewer. If the stack (big vertical pipe serving other
toilets etc) is on the outside of the house and you want to put the new
toilet on the same wall, it's usually a fairly simple job. Assuming you
can get a plumber at all, that is.

If you are considering using a macerator unit (a "popular" brand is
S*n*f*o) read the uk.d-i-y FAQ Humour article and then stop considering
using a macerator.

Also, is planning permission required for this?

If the need is desperate you could always consider a porta potti sold at
all good caravan dealers. the advantage being cheapness. Martin McGowan
