Just fitting concealed lavatory cistern as part of bathroom re-furb.
It is an Ideal Standard Conceala with dual pneumatic buttons attached
by air pipes.
Across the top of the cupboard like unit, a worktop will be fitted
into which a wash basin will be set and sealed with silicone to
prevent the worktop turning into soggy wheatabix with the wet.

So, when the Torbeck-type valve gets a bit of grit in it and needs
sorting how do you get back into the unit? The guy in the bathroom
showroom said, "They never go wrong".

Did his nose get bigger when he said that? Did he promise that the cheque
was in the post?

I've found two examples where cisterns have been boxed in & tiled over!
People are somewhat dismayed when you tell them the tiles will have to come
off to repair the cistern.
