EXCELLENT VIDEO,, you are the the only person with a video that actually showed the Entire install,, thanks,, i didn't know how to attach it to the wall and the other videos just skipped over that part!!
Showed me exactly what I needed to do. I had to focus a bit to get through his British accent but all in all I thought he did a bang-up job with his instructions.
Absolutely excellent demo. So well done that if i did not have the time for this kind of work, i would pay Tommy to do it just out of appreciation for this great video.
Great install video. However, I noticed that the tile flooring was partially completed around the toilet, leaving the the sink atop the cement board. Wouldn't it be easier to finish the tile before mounting the sink so that you don't have to make edge cuts around the pedestal? Even if you were finishing with vinyl flooring, having to cut around a pedestal would leave you open to water getting between the flooring and subfloor. Just my .02 cents.
Im new to DIY in the bathroom and have only installed one sink upstairs.. now working on the downstairs and the pedestal which we have chosen does not have fixing holes in its base...? (the one upstairs did have them) is this normal? if so how can i i fix it to the floor?
The tails (supply pipes) often come with a notice *not* to tighten beyond hand-tight. If you 'nip them up' with a spanner, you risk tearing the rubber o-ring seals and having this fail under pressure with the result that you'll flood the bathroom.
No silicone around the pop up waste? That will leak in time. No silicone or plumbers mate around the base and the top of the pedestal where it meets the sink? tut tut tut Shouldn't you have cut your waste pipes and installed elbows etc before you install sink and pedestal, ensuring that the adjustable trap can just be screwed on?
Interesting how the part about connecting the waste & the hot/cold has been missed out! probably the most awkward part!!! Also, if you are intending to tile the floor, you should have the floor tiled first so you don't have to cut round the pedestal. And as has been pointed out, a bead of silicone is best between the plug and the sink. Good video though, fair play. :)
With all due respect, not the most informative video in the series. Nothing used on trap to basin joint ?(silicon) Nothing used on botton of pedestal to floor?(plumbers mate/CT1) Nothing used between top of pedestal and base of sink ?(plumbers mate )

I was always told to put a bead of silicone or plumbers mate round the waste before fitting.. good comment on the connecting the taps, and the waste.
Cool liked that - was particularly interested in how mark holes to attach basin to wall and then fit pedestal.

Is the pedestal secured to the floor or is it kept in place by just the weight of the sink?
great tutorial sir!

The difficult bit for a DIYer, would be connecting the hot and cold supply. You have missed that out completely. Why?
and now he has to remove it all to tile underneath it! apart from that, good vid...
thanks it's good....
the wather?

I guess Tommy and his minions don't do replies...
yeap, helpful but more helpful would be if i could understand a word he's saying...
Can't understand a word he's saying.
