Installation of Toilet

Toilet Installation Done Right

A new toilet should feel like an upgrade, not a source of leaks, rocking, or constant running. Whether you are replacing an old unit, renovating a bathroom, or fitting out a new build, correct installation is essential for comfort, hygiene, and long term reliability. We install toilets with careful attention to watertight connections, secure mounting, and clean finishes that look great and perform well.

Our team handles standard close coupled toilets, back to wall models, wall hung frames, compact toilets for small bathrooms, and accessible height options. We work neatly, protect surrounding surfaces, and confirm everything is operating smoothly before we leave.

What Is Included in Our Toilet Installation Service

Every bathroom is different, so we start by checking the existing pipework, shut off valves, waste outlet position, and floor condition. This helps us avoid surprises and ensures the toilet you chose will fit and function properly. If you are unsure what model to buy, we can guide you on sizing, trap type, and compatibility with your current setup.

  • Removal of the old toilet and safe isolation of the water supply
  • Inspection of the flange and waste connection to confirm it is sound and aligned
  • New pan and cistern installation including bolts, seals, and connectors
  • Connection of the water feed with secure fittings and a functioning isolation valve
  • Testing for leaks and correct flushing including fill level and overflow checks
  • Stability check to prevent rocking and future seal failure
  • Clean up of the work area once installation is complete

If we find worn parts like a corroded shut off valve or a damaged flange, we will explain the options clearly and carry out the necessary remedial work with your approval. For related bathroom tasks, you can also explore our bathroom plumbing services to coordinate multiple upgrades in one visit.

Our Step by Step Process

1. Pre installation checks

We confirm the water supply can be isolated, assess the condition of the floor, and measure the rough in distance. This prevents common problems like a toilet that sits too far from the wall, a misaligned waste outlet, or a slow draining bowl.

2. Precise fitting and sealing

Correct sealing is the difference between a trouble free installation and hidden water damage. We use the appropriate gasket or wax ring solution for your setup, align the pan carefully, and tighten fixings evenly to avoid cracking the porcelain.

3. Water connection and performance testing

After connecting the inlet, we test fill speed, flush strength, and shut off operation. We also listen for running water and verify the cistern stops filling at the correct level. When needed, we adjust internal components so the toilet works quietly and efficiently.

4. Finishing touches

We ensure the toilet is stable, the seat is aligned, and the area is left clean. If silicone sealing is requested for appearance and hygiene, we apply it neatly and advise on curing time before use.

Common Issues We Prevent

Many toilet problems start at installation. Our goal is to prevent call backs and keep your bathroom dry and dependable.

  • Leaks at the base caused by poor sealing or an uneven floor
  • Leaks at the inlet due to worn connectors or over tightened fittings
  • Rocking and movement that breaks the seal over time
  • Weak flush and slow refill from incorrect setup or restricted valves
  • Persistent running caused by misadjusted fill valves or flush mechanisms

If you are also dealing with an existing fault such as a constantly running cistern or a blockage, we can combine installation with toilet repair services so everything is resolved in one appointment.

Residential and Commercial Toilet Installation

We provide reliable installation for homes, rentals, offices, retail units, and hospitality settings. In residential bathrooms, we focus on neat finishes, minimal disruption, and practical advice for day to day use. For commercial sites, we can work around access requirements and coordinate with facilities teams to reduce downtime.

If your project includes multiple washrooms or a broader refurbishment, our commercial plumbing services can support coordinated plumbing work including isolation, replacement of supply lines, and upgrades to improve durability.

Pricing, Scheduling, and What to Prepare

Cost depends on the toilet type, access, and whether any adjustments to pipework or mounting are needed. We provide clear pricing before work begins and we never proceed with extra tasks without your approval.

  • Have the new toilet on site if you are supplying it, including any included fixings
  • Clear the area around the toilet for safe access
  • Let us know if you have underfloor heating, tiled floors, or previous leak damage
  • Tell us if the toilet is wall hung or requires a concealed cistern frame

With proper installation and testing, your new toilet should operate smoothly from day one, and we will make sure you feel confident using it before we finish the job.

FAQ

Do I need to turn off the water before you arrive to install a toilet?

No, we can isolate the supply as part of the job using the local shut off valve or the mains stopcock if needed. If your shut off valve is stuck or leaking, we can replace it during the visit.

Can you install a toilet if the floor is uneven or the old toilet was rocking?

Yes, we assess the floor condition and correct the fit so the new toilet sits stable. This may include reworking the mounting points or addressing the seal and flange alignment to prevent future leaks.

How do I know if my new toilet will fit the existing waste outlet?

The key measurement is the rough in distance and the outlet type. If you share the model details or photos of the existing setup, we can confirm compatibility and advise if any adapters or pipe adjustments are required.
