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". All it takes is a bit of work
on the water main up the road and grit gets in. Also the washer will
wear out over time.

Ideas, please.

We have a not very needed soap dish inset into the worktop near the basin.

Not very needed for soap that is, as the basin has a built in depression.

But it's just above the ballcock in the cistern...
