    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...

    Leaking toilet cistern pipe to valve

    Hello I wanted to fit an isolating valve to the supply to the toilet cistern so as to reduce the water pressure. The cistern has a shutoff valve with a small rubber diaphragm type shut off and if pressure is to high it keeps filling and overflows into toilet. I have posted a photo, new copper...

    Hi. Wondering if anyone could help me. I've had my WC sitting like this for a year now. After having this fitted while I was at work I'd purchased a toilet with cistern and thought the flat flush Valve I'd ordered seperately would fit it but it never. So Ieft with the gap for a flat flush...

    Replacing lid on 2 button cistern - whole mechanism screws out

    Had to take the lid off to replace the inlet diaphram, but now can't replace the lid without also messing up the two button mechanism.

    Toilet Cistern Overflowing (Picture Included)

    Quick question please, the toilet cistern is constantly over flowing and I need to adjust the fill valve. Am I right in assuming that the part circled should turn so that it can be adjusted? Or do I just need to bend the ball cock arm? Thanks Phil.
