Should I add any filler under a toilet or basin pedestal going into wood floor?

Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.20 PM

When positioning a toilet and basin pedestal, I've noticed there is a very slight wobble to both when sat on the (perfectly flat) floor (a 10mm laminate floor). I don't want them to move and putting strain on any fixings or pipes or sealants. Should I add some kind of flexible filler under each, to stabilise them and stop the wobble? If so, what should be the appropriate substance? Thanks, Nick
