Will the wall behind the WC take the load in a Tunstall property?

The frame carries the load, not the wall — it fixes back to floor and studs or masonry. We check the substrate at Tunstall survey and add pattress if needed.

How do you get to the cistern if it fails?

Through the flush plate — Geberit-style frames give service access to the inlet valve and float without disturbing the tiles on a Tunstall install.

How high do you set the pan?

400-450mm to seat top is the standard Tunstall height. We adjust higher (up to 480mm) if the household wants an easier stand.

Can you tile the whole false wall?

Yes — full-height tiling to the flush plate is our standard. Grout lines are set to align with the plate on Tunstall installs.

How long does a full bathroom in Tunstall typically take?

A standard family bathroom in Tunstall is usually 7 – 12 working days from strip-out to handover, depending on tiling area and structural changes.

Do you provide a fixed-price quote before starting?

Always. After a free home visit in Tunstall we send a fully itemised, fixed-price quotation — no surprises on invoice day.

A wall-hung toilet on a Geberit-style frame in a Tunstall home takes a fitter's whole day to do well and forty minutes to do badly. The frame has to be plumbed and levelled against the finished wall, the waste and inlet tails have to be set to the exact projection, and the false wall has to be boarded to take the load.

We use full-height framing anchored into structure, plywood pattress behind the tile field, and a template-fitted flush plate. The result is a WC that doesn't rock, an access panel you can actually service, and no visible plastic.

If you're weighing up bathroom fitting in Tunstall, the local detail matters more than the brochure spec.
