Low Level Cast Cistern ‘Primed for Painting’

Thomas Crapper & Co

£899

The original Edwardian versions of this low-level cistern were made from cast iron and were supplied with the iconic beer-pull cistern lever. We are proud to continue this tradition and although the modern versions are made from corrosion resistant aluminium alloy they are still supplied with the wonderful beer-pull cistern lever. This version of the 814 cistern is supplied primed ready for painting on site. The cistern lever is available with a choice of Polished brass, Chrome or Nickel fittings. Notes: We also offer these cisterns ready pre-finished in White, British Racing Green, Matt Black

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as THOMAS CRAPPER AND COMPANY,LIMITED, number 00082482. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
