Hi guys,
I've moved on to the en-suite bathroom now and found that the toilet waste emerges from the floor, as you'd expect, but doesn't emerge level. The last person appears to have made a half-hearted effort at shimming the flange (about 1/4 inch) to level the toilet but I'd prefer something a little more secure. Is there a flange out there that would correct this levelling issue or is there another method to resolve this? By the way, removal of the waste pipe from below the floor is not an option.
Thanks

The toilet flange does not level the toilet, the floor does.

If the flange is 1/4in. out of level you may be able to use two wax seals to make a secure installation.

The flange should be secured to the floor.

Best that I can do, lots of luck.

Sounds like a plan, thanks
