Take any waste pipes (inc soil) above the joists. Water pipes can go

Thanks for the feedback - the advice makes sense but do the waste
pipes for the bath and the shower (only doing the bath at this stage)
not need to be below the level of the plug hole?

Would this not mean you would have to raise the level of the plug hole
or are they far enough above ground level anyway?

In case you haven't guessed I'm no expert on plumbing and wouldn't be
at this at all if it wasn't an emergency (very pregnant wife / no
reliable plumber available for weeks)

No worries about experience - we all started somewhere and I learn
something every single day. Often of not much value though.

From the bath plug hole, use a proper thing called a 'bath trap'.
This has a low profile so that the pipe that runs from it can be kept
above floor-board level.

Of course, this can then be dropped below floor level and run along
the floor/ceiling void if that is possible. Depends on the direction
of your joists/boards. DO NOT cut joist to run the waste from the
bath though. If they are not in-line to the direction you want to go
then run above floor.

Hope that helps.

Indeed it does. Thanks to all for the info.
