cheers Berty. Not sure what to do yet ref lid. Might seal it all as if all connected correctly then shouldn't get leaks. After all the wall hung toilets I see in restaurants etc are all sealed into the walls. I am in no rush as you can see by my OP. lol Lucky I have the bathroom upstairs...

lol great I was going to seal the lid as it to would be 12mm plasterboard as per the youtube video on the Geberit frame installation. I will have to improvise on making a lid. Baring in mind the flush plate will have to go on top. Any ideas of what I could use? Does anybody know of a cheap...

Thanks guys. I think I'll have to order the toilet I mentioned if I have to fit a bracket to the frame then fit the 12mm plasterboard. I am concerned I won't have access to the main isolation valve (the water input) as it will all be boxed in so I guess I will have to double check the plumbing...

lol the brackets on the wall make it look out of line but they can be adjusted slightly for when I secure the board to frame and brackets. The frame is lined up. I just thought the invisible connection on these toilets make it difficult to get under with a spanner/wrench?

This is what I have done so far. Secured the frame to wall by long studs set in chemical resin. Also secured to the floor. Screwed brackets around frame. I have 12mm plasterboard ready to cut and box around. But I am still unsure what toilet to buy. It has been suggested this one but the...

Geberit frame/cistern secured. All plumbed in.

Thanks for the comments. 80mm is 8cm right? Yes the frame has to be bolted to the concrete floor well and truly. I agree with the frame to wall support. My house is a new build (2001) and if you look at the video I posted that's a good example of my toilet room the window over the loo etc...

This is what I am doing so frame needs to be securely fastened to concrete floor. I am sure you can get a concrete mix in tub add a bit of water and then fill the hole in. But it's only 10mm diameter and 80mm deep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpR_u0MGlic

lol thanks for all your comments. The dowel suggestion is good but i am maybe swinging towards filling with smooth cement push it down to fill both holes and start again. Will it be just as hard as the existing concrete?? So when I redrill it won't be soft like drilling through thermalite...

Thanks guys. Yes 8cm deep. It's a Geberit frame for holding a wall hung toilet that doesn't sit on floor. I need to refill with concrete. Push it down there and bind with existing concrete. The correct holes are drilled. The incorrect holes are next to them with a very thin wall separating them...

Ok I drilled 10mm holes into my downstairs cloakroom concrete floor in wrong place. I am sure I measured it right. So I remeasured and the correct position is alongside the hole I drilled. As it is next to it I have weakened the hole where I would push the raw plug in to hold a the frame of a...

Ok been in touch with a nice man at Geberit cistern frames ref to wall hung toilet. He rang me up and told me he's installed 3 in his house and has same type of construction house as me. Plasterboard with thermalite blocks at the rear. He's emailed me with a few links to what I require. He...

H i Steve Yes I think if a good solid frame was built with good timber securing the rear timber to the back wall spreading the load then a frame to hold the toilet can be screwed into the timber itself. I have seen a video on youtube whereby it screws into base and sides of timber. Rather...

Ok removed the toilet and cistern. Took them to the skip. Now figuring out which frame and how I will build this stud frame around it as support as I believe the wall behind the plasterboard is thermalite which can crumble. Any thoughts? I have been looking on youtube. Wall to wall measures...

I meant it looked like they enclosed the job without access to cistern and isolation valve. Yes I will make sure I get the right raw plugs. Will keep you updated. Cheers

Cheers Berty. Amazing video. I noticed in that video they sealed all the plasterboard. One crucial important thing. I have no problem bolting the frame into the floor. But what about the thermal brick behind the plasterboard? I do believe it to be that grey crumbling brick. The bolts...

Thanks Berty. Looks a good job. Smarter toilet when not touching floor. I take it the red levers (in one image) are the isolation valves? Rather then the ones you with a screw that you turn? What position would I be looking from at that image? Is that plasterboard you are using to secure to...

Some good advice Berty. Thanks. I am wondering which toilet to go for ie floating back to wall or the back to wall where it touches the floor. In the image I have uploaded it looks like a floating toilet secured to the frame. I am sure a frame would support it. The back wall behind my toilet is...
