A friend of mine had his bathroom refurbed last year. He said that the

I'm in the process of doing my bathroom and I've just laid the floor
with 10mm thick tiles. Because of the wooden floor, I used some BAL
fastflex adhesive and I'm thinking about using this to fix the pan to
the floor. I've done a test piece using a couple of bits of floor tile.
The adhesive seems to be really strong and I'd like to use it without
screws but I'd like some reassurance. Is it accepted practice to use fix
a toilet pan to a tiled floor in this way?

TIA,

And what will you do when you find you need to lift it for some reason ????

Well to be honest, I've never had to lift one before except when the
bathroom suite was being replaced.

It has been suggested on here that you raise it on some matches ...squirt
silicone under it and remove the matches after the silicone has set and
presumably seal the edges with more silicone .I thinks thats what was posted
anyway ..Wasn't that long ago .

I think that was also me asking the question a few months ago when I was
I was fitting our downstairs loo onto a wooden floor. In that case I did
use white silicon but the pan was screwed to the floor. In this case the
possibility of doing away with the need to use screws is appealing.
