    Yes he managed to sink the pipes into the ground, and he kept saying in the end that he wasn't happy with the little box for the toilet pipes (wanted to have nothing or something smaller) but still a major improvement for us, and can act almost as a shelf now.

    That vertical boxing in the corner looks like an internal soil stack .
    To get rid of the horizontal toilet boxing would mean putting the pipe outside and digging a big hole downstairs.
    Thats presuming it's not an apartment your in.

    I would have presumed the old boxing to the bath ,was for the bath waste.:(

    You can cut out vents completely by fitting an air admittance valve, once fitted at least 1 mtr above cistern, toilet will flush, durko valve is one of the brand names. Air admittance valves from 1" right up to 4", works great with internal stacks and concealed type cisterns. 4" vent to open waste to atmospheric pressue doesnt even have to terminate outside or at vent tile, just leave 4" in attic with aav, air addmitance valve lets air in but seals when air is not needed, no smells.

    I thin your missing his point. The soil stac would still have to be there.

    Depends on whats above, if its just vent then wall could have been studded out a little to allow aav to be concealed, wasn't really talking about this bathroom just in general.

    If your downlight bulbs are blowing from steam,that means they are exposed to the moisture and steam,and that means your downlight fittings are not suitible for a bathroom.

    They need to be sealed downlight fixtures and IP zone rated for a bathroom too.
