    I'm redoing our 4' x 4' downstairs loo. My wife took a shine to an L shaped basin loo unit & the blurb states that the toilet unit can take a frame. However it's only a 500 wide unit (470 inside) and only 820mm high. Been looking around at frames and stumbled across Arezzo who do one that...

    Toilet flush button cistern replacement

    Hello I’m trying to find a replacement flush button but although the thread looks like a siamp I don’t think it is.

    Advice on moving toilet from front of house to the back.

    Hi, I am wanting to have our toilet moved from the front of the house to the back. It would be moved straight back by about 4 meters but this would be away from the soil stack. Our house was built in 2006 and I presume the floor will be concrete. Is this possible? Thanks
