Slim-line WC Cistern:This WC cistern is quite a slimmed plastic system fixed directly to the wall. It has a short downpipe and a lever or knob to operate the flush, a good option if you are short of space. They are quite fragile because their structure and strength is reliant on the lid being correctly fitted. These systems are not really suitable for toilets that are well used.High Level WC Cistern:This type is the old-fashioned style that is fitted (quite high, using a long downpipe and a chain to operate the flush). These are a great design if you are carrying out a home restoration on a pre-1950s property. Reproduction versions and antique designs are available. Make sure that there is enough ceiling height, for fitting. Bromley Plumbers can fit any WC.Low-Level WC Cistern:These WC systems are the most common of all. They are normally constructed of ceramic and secured by brackets and have a short downpipe with a lever to operate the flush.Concealed WC Cistern:Concealed WC cisterns are constructed from ceramic, plastic or metal, and as the name implies not meant to be seen, usually being completely hidden from view behind panelling. The disadvantage is that the panel has to be removable, for system maintenance, this is a pain if you wanted to tile the bathroom.Close Linked WC Cistern:Closed linked WC systems are designed in such a way that the pan and cistern are linked as a single feature. It is made of ceramic, having no visible downpipe, and the U-bends or traps is part of the design. It can be tricky to install, so it is not a job to do if you are a plumbing novice.Wash Down WC Pan:This type of WC is a standard design we all know with its waste pipe running through the wall or through the floor. It is a decent, low in price, easy fit choice, however you must make sure that you get the WC pan that has a through the wall or through the floor design to match the original. A Bromley Plumber can fit all models of WC including this model.
