I'm looking at fitting a new bathroom suite soon and the only bit I'm not
sure about is in fitting a new loo and what happens if that doesn't fit
against the wall and the waste position needs changing. I guess that
involves a major digging exercise down to the sewer and laying new pipes.
From the wall to the centre of the current ceramic waste is 25cm. Is that
some sort of standard dimension which means that any new loo will abut the
wall properly?

Easiest thing is to get a loo with the outlet horizontal out of the
back rather than using an S-trap and trying to line up the bottom
outlet. Then use adapter to connect to loo to the waste pipe in the
floor. A new close-coupled loo with the cistern behind the seat will
usually end up futher from the wall.
