how do i move my toilet up 20mm due to laying new floor?

I am laying a new tiled floor with undertile heating. I feel i should raise my toilet up so it sits onto the tiles rather than tile around the base (the finish will look far better this way). Is this easy to do? All i see as the trouble part is the pipe at the rear of the toilet,will raising this mean i will need a longer pipe of will the existing one be long enough? And when i re-seat the toilet will i need to grease this pipe so it slides back nicely and will i require some sealer of sorts? Thanks..

A difficult one to guess, you may be lucky enough to have a connection that will allow for a 20mm stretch in the joint, but if not, your local plumbing merchant should be able to supply you with a standard multikwik push fit joint, they have lubricant supplied with them but if not, a liberal smearing of washing up liquid will do the trick.
