A basin and semi pedestal set gives you the clean, wall-hung look of a wall-mounted basin while still concealing the pipework beneath — without the need for a full floor-to-basin pedestal. The semi pedestal is a shorter, bracket-style support that attaches to the wall below the basin, hiding the waste and supply pipes while keeping the floor area open and easy to clean.
Why Choose a Basin & Semi Pedestal?
- Conceals pipework — the semi pedestal neatly hides waste and supply pipes without a full pedestal column
- More floor space — shorter than a full pedestal, giving a lighter, more open feel to the room
- Contemporary styling — cleaner lines than a traditional full pedestal; suits modern and transitional bathrooms
- Matched sets — basin and semi pedestal are designed together for a coordinated finish
- Vitreous china construction — durable, hygienic, and easy to clean
- Ideal for cloakrooms — compact footprint suits smaller spaces where a full pedestal would feel heavy
Things to Consider Before Buying
- Wall fixing — the basin is wall-mounted; the wall must be capable of supporting the weight. Solid masonry or timber noggins in a stud wall are required
- Tap holes — most basins in this range have 1 tap hole for a monobloc mixer; check the product listing
- Waste — check whether a basin waste is included or needs to be purchased separately
- Height — confirm the finished basin height suits your requirements; standard is typically 800–850mm from floor to basin rim

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a semi pedestal and a full pedestal?
A full pedestal runs from the floor to the underside of the basin, fully concealing all pipework and providing floor-level support. A semi pedestal is a shorter wall-mounted bracket that conceals only the pipework beneath the basin — the basin itself is fixed to the wall. This gives a lighter, more contemporary look with more visible floor space.
Does the semi pedestal support the weight of the basin?
No — the basin is supported by the wall fixings, not the semi pedestal. The semi pedestal is decorative and functional for pipe concealment only. Always ensure the basin is correctly fixed to the wall using the fixings and method specified in the installation guide.
Do I need a special tap for a basin and semi pedestal set?
A standard monobloc basin mixer tap is suitable for most basins in this range. Check the number of tap holes on the basin before ordering. Browse our Basin Taps for compatible options.
