    Concealed toilet cistern

    Can anyone please recommend me a good quality concealed toilet cistern? Ideally I'd like one with a 'proper' old-fashioned Pegler brass float valve and a real ballcock, but I don't think these meet water regs any more, which is presumably why no-one is supplying them. I'm very unimpressed with...
