Got this toilet.
IMG_7892.JPG
Want it removed and a new close coupling fitted, relatively simple. Wants it pushed further back so that it sits against the wall.
However, waste looks like this

Worried I can't get the toilet to the wall due to connecting the waste.
Any ideas?

Also, will this waste literally dump into the main waste or will it be routed to the stack still?

And lastly, flooring, for toilet first, lay floor around it and then silicone/seal?
Or lay flooring first, then fix toilet?

Help appreciated as always 🙂
 
Is this ground floor or first floor?
Is the floor Timber or concrete?
Is the stack immediately behind the WC outside, if not how close?

And the flooring, get the Wc in place, working, then lift the bowl, lay the floor refit and silicon around.
Same for the cistern, leave space to tile behind if you're tiling.

Space saving pan connector and maybe some spacers behind cistern, as others have said re flooring
 
Thanks. No the stack is quite far away, it's bottom solid floor.

There's a contractor in, laying flooring, says he wants to lay floor first. Good idea? Or is he just being lazy?

Am just worried that any connector to the waste will not allow the toilet to fit directly next to wall. Have heard people box in behind these to bring the wall out a bit. Really don't want to do that. Surely people have come up against this loads of times and there's a simple solution? A particular type of toilet perhaps?

If you want to fit a back to the wall pan you need to move the rad and stud the wall out.You will not able to do it any other way.
