FAQs
What are smart-flush toilets and how do they benefit Cosby homeowners?
Smart-flush toilets use advanced sensors or dual-flush mechanisms to release only the water volume needed for each flush. For Cosby residents, this translates into up to 50-60 % less water consumption compared with older 13-litre cisterns, potentially reducing annual water bills by £50–£90 per toilet. Lower water demand also helps our local infrastructure and supports Severn Trent’s conservation targets.
Can a smart-flush toilet be retro-fitted to my existing plumbing?
In most Cosby homes built after the 1970s, the waste line, soil stack and supply shut-off are already compatible with modern smart-flush models. We carry out a free site survey to verify rough-in distance (usually 305 mm/12 in), floor strength, and valve pressure. If minor adjustments are needed—such as replacing a corroded shut-off or extending the supply line—our technicians complete them during the same visit with minimal disruption.
How long does a smart-flush replacement or upgrade typically take?
A straightforward swap of an existing close-coupled toilet for a new smart-flush unit in Cosby generally takes 2–3 hours, including removal, disposal and commissioning. If you opt for hidden cisterns or wall-hung frames, allow 4–5 hours because we need to reinforce studs and conceal pipework. We schedule appointments around school runs and work hours to keep downtime to a minimum.
What is the average cost of installing a smart-flush toilet in Cosby?
Pricing depends on model and labour complexity. In 2024, our entry-level dual-flush upgrades start at £395 fully fitted, mid-range sensor-activated models run £540–£680, and premium app-connected units with bidet functions average £1,100. All prices include VAT, old fixture disposal, and a two-year workmanship guarantee. We also offer 0 % finance over 6 or 12 months for Cosby customers.
Do smart-flush toilets require special maintenance?
Maintenance is similar to a standard toilet—with two exceptions. First, cleanse the flush sensor lens monthly with a microfibre cloth to prevent false triggers. Second, replace the rubber seal in the dual-flush valve every 5-7 years; we supply a low-cost kit. Lime-scale build-up is common in Leicestershire’s hard water, so we recommend adding a descaling tablet quarterly.
Are smart-flush toilets compliant with local building regulations and water bylaws?
Yes. All models we install carry the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS) approval and meet Part G of the Building Regulations, which caps new WC flush volumes at 6/4 litres. We file the required Minor Works certificate with Blaby District Council and register the installation under the Competent Persons Scheme, giving you documentation for future home sales or insurance claims.
