On gutting a room, will be ripping out existing loo & sink and
replacing.

Currently, look fixed on floor. I plan to remove everything, leaving
waste-pipe poking through floor, then board/tile the floor, then
install new loo on the new tiles.

Now - I've never replaced a loo before...!

The waste pipe looks "standard" - and the loo has some plastic ducting
from the base to the "permament" waste downpipe. Assume this just
comes apart and leaves the wastepipe sticking up. And assume this is a
standard size...! (House is c. 1991)

The pipe is close to the wall - about 75mm from CENTRE of pipe to the
wall. (e.g. pipe is perhaps 5-10mm from wall)

Planning to replace with http://www.plumbworld.co.uk/1350-13286
(dimensions he http://www.plumbworld.co.uk/images/pwis0801t.gif )

From my interpretation of this plan, this will fit quite nicely onto
the existing waste pipe. The dimensions mention 102 bore soil pipe -
so assume this is the standard fitting.

And I assume everything will just plug in and work.


Now I like learning on the job - but are there any gotcha's or "DOH's"
that I need to be aware of - or is replacing a loo like falling off a
ladder (ahem)

Thanks
