We are at roofing stage and I want to change my toilet to one with a concealed cistern in the wall cavity.
Our builder said it is too late to change as they have roughed in the plumbing.
Is this correct?
Many thanks for your ideas.

I’d think <$1000 easy , 2 hours for the plumber and 1hr framing, there could be other issues without seeing the situation Re: Concealed cistern 7Sep 30, 2022 6:04 pm Pulse The cisterns only need 90mm ie std external wall frame, issue is the pan and waste set out.
