new plumbing to upstairs bathroom   
I am in the process of moving my bathroom from downstairs to upstairs there 
is now no plumb work upstairs due to new combi, what is the best way of 
getting new pipes up stairs i can go straight up from near the boiler 
throught the kids room and across under the floor boards but this means 
ripping alot of the carpets up and not to mention the upheaveal, or straight 
up through the kids room into the loft and then drop down to the new 
bathroom.

any ideas or pros cons either way.
many thanks

I wouldn't go up into the loft and then back down again unless you really
have to. The feed to my ensuite (which I didn't install!) does this - and
gives up if there's a heavy demand anywhere else in the house.

You haven't said what you're doing with the waste pipes. I would have
thought that they were a bigger problem than the water pipes.

Re: new plumbing to upstairs bathroom   
the waste pipes aren't a problem i have that one worked out but i dont 
really want to have to take most of the floor boards up up stairs to get the 
water feed in.
