It's a pretty standard design. What makes you think it won't work?

If connected to the same downpipe would the sewage just find another
route like pushing out the bath plug and filling the bath?

There'd need to quite a bit of back pressure to get to an upstairs bathroom.
In any case, theer's usualya n airbreak between the bath outlet and the
sewer.

It all depends on whether the rim of the bath is higher or lower than
the rim of the bog, and how deep the flood-water is outside...


Many people have the bath on the first floor, but they have a guest loo
downstairs. So, the bath won't be a problem, but the kitchen sink might
- or the washing machine stand pipe. All these can be blocked rather
more easily (with a rag in a plastic bag, say) than the toilet.

Of course, yes, if the flood water is at first floor level, you do have
a bit of a problem.

My top floor bog has it's own pipe to the inspection chamber in the
yard. There's a bend where the pipe leaves the house. When it blocks
there's no warning until the top floor bog fills when I flush. The I
have to rod the pipe from the yard. Once I've cleared the blockage I
have to jump back fast because a lot of stuff comes down bloody quick.

Downstairs loo has been a building regs requirement for

We have a house built in 1972 without a ground floor loo. So, 'ages'
must be less than 50 years.

ten years ago it was a space that could be converted to a cludgy in the
near of Scotland anyway...but the new owners took the cupboard away to
get a bigger living room....

I think the requirement is merely one of accessibility. As long as a
wheelchair CAN get to it it can be anywhere. Even in a 13th floor block
of flats.

Notwithstanding most people like a ground floor loo.
