TILING BEHIND TOILET.
Could some one answer my query please.
I want to tile my bathroom, and would like to fully tile behind my toilet. which means having to remove the cistern and attached basin out of the way. my question is.? when i put my toilet back will the extra 8mm or so thickness of the wall make a difference with sealing the drain outlet. ie, when i put it back will it leak at the outlet or will i get away with it. i also what to lift the toilet up some 10mm at the same time because of a new floor. please can anyone help or would it be best to post this question in the plumbing forum..
my many thanks in advance COSMIC ps not sure how much movement have in the waste pipe if any..

There will be a way of doing what you want, how or what fittings you'll need will depend on the existing.
Perhaps a pic or two

Re: TILING BEHIND TOILET.
You will find an offset pan connector may be the best fitting to swing the connection to the higher level

No, I mean something like this.
Most of the sheds, plumbers, builders merchant should have something including eBay and the likes.
