How to remove a toilet cistern 

I had to remove remove the cistern to change the inlet float valve on a toilet at home. Your video made this easy. Thanks a lot buddy! Excellent commentary

absolute legend! you make it so simple. definitely gonna give my bathroom an overhaul next time I have the week off!

Thanks for putting this up. Just got my first house and the previous owner had left me a broken siphon. Using this i successfully replaced it :)

Interesting to see little national differences. In the US, I have never seen a toilet tank (you call them cisterns) attached to a toilet AND the wall. Very interesting installation. The whole thing looks lather sturdy.

Hi thanks for the video managed to easily remove cistern n tile behind and saved money doing it myself : )

Excellent, helpful and very clear.

Great, no nonsense video - cheers

Hi mate, question.I have a toilet vent pine that joins the waste pipe inside the toilet which then goes out externally and joins back to the waste pine that runs up onto the second floor and then finally vents out into the roof. I am putting in a new bathroom but because of that pipe joining inside the toilet room it is not allowing me to install a new toilet basin flush against the wall. Would I be able to cut the vent pipe flush with the wall and just push the toilet and use the main waste pipe since it runs up to the roof of the building as a vent?? many thanks

What size bolts/screws are they called that hold the block to the wall please as I need to order new ones.

mate you are a legend

Great vid - is there a screw on cap / stop end that can be used without cutting the pipe? Many thanks

If I'm just removing it to access the wall to clean mold off the wall, do I need to do the last step of capping off the pipe? I don't have a problem with the toilet itself. I only need to remove it to clean behind it on the wall.

Thanks. Due to a leak in my upstairs bathroom a unit came off the wall in my bathroom downstairs & smashed the Cistern, everything else is fine, is it possible to buy just the Cistern? Thanks

When i do manage to remove the wingnuts i am going to put hex nuts on instead much easier to remove later on.

That's great if the wingnuts are brand new like the ones you have but when they are rusted up and seized

Wingnut holding toilet cistern keeps turning

Hi, I have a question - what is the name of the metal part that the screws and bolts are screwed to? It's in between the cistern itself and the toilet seat. It can get rusty!

That’s if they use screws. Liquid nails is the worst

2024 anyone

ive just done this but now ive completely fucked the water flow up lol....toilet 1, wont flush ,2, wont fill and 3, wont stop running. so now ive got no toilet.
