strange one but i've sort of been backed into a corner about this one and i can't find another solution to my problem (it's too long and boring to explain in full!)
long story short, can i buy a basin from one manufacturer, and put a pedestal from another manufacturer underneath it? is the 'fit' between a basin and pedestal standardised or does each company have it's over type? what can be different across companies?
thanks !

would using a wall hung basin or a basin supported by a vanity unit be an option?A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0

The underside of the basin and the top of the pedestal need to be the same shape, so different manufacturers parts will not be a good fit together.0

A wall hung basin or a vanity unit would definitely be an option but bear in mind that a wall hung basin needs VERY solid fixings, so if it's a plasterboard stud wall then it would need to be strengthened significantly to take the weight.0
