Nearly finished the tiling, now to put in the wc
I think you are supposed to bed the WC pedestal in before levelling and screwing to the floor, What do I use to bed in?
Also I have a flexible waste pipe from the back of the pan to outlet in the floor, Do I use any sealant (silicone) to either end or just push fit Dry?

The corner basin is just wall hung (without pedestal) by 2 long coach type bolts that came with the basin. 1 Wall is a brick the other is plaster stud but with a bit of 4" x 2" built into the frame.
Does that sound enough or should I get some sort of Hangers as Well?

Check the manufacturers instructions regarding the toilet. Mine didnt specify any bedding compound at all so i sat it on a bed of silicon then screwed it into the floor.
The pan connector can be fitted without the use of silicon but check for leaks after a few flushes. I bought a faulty flexible pan connector from Wickes, it was split along the seem - good job i spotted it!
I would've thought the basin will be fine so long as there is support behind the stud to fix into. 4 x 2 sounds plenty so long as its secured to the stud work firmly.
