Currently in the process of updating a 1970's house. The downstairs toilet has the original WC and I want to remove it but I'm a bit concerned as it looks like it is cemented in place and it looks a lot to be a larger diameter. I want to cap it off so that I can replace it with a new one so wondered if I am likely to have any problems.

Should be ok, and does look cemented in. Once the pan is dislodged, you should be able to remove the drain connection easily.
Thank you. Will the drain connection be larger than the 120mm used these days?

It doesn’t look like it will be and it’s 110mm used normally.

If it is cast iron it'll be either 3½" or 4" pipe.
Thanks for that, very helpful.
