Never seen one of those before! Is there a makers name anywhere?

If I'm looking at sourcing a new assembly, is the height relevant as
long as it's = the current? The currently installed is 11" high but I
can't find the same on Screwfix or Toolstation.

TIA

If you go for a new assembly I'd recommend a Fluidmaster;

Bottom-Entry-Fill-Valve-UK

Adjustable between 9" & 14"

Very simple to fit, excellent instructions.

Although I would go for the "Pro" version - all the same features plus a
"proper" brass pipe thread.

Pro-Bottom-Entry-Fill-Valve

I've used their Pro side entry and it is extremely well made (better than
anything else I have ever seen in recent years).

I must try removing the flow restrictor from mine and see how it copes with
mains pressure...
