Learn moreShared drains and who pays
A lot of blocked drain disputes come down to a single question: is this run yours alone, or does it serve more than one property? If it is shared, responsibility usually sits with the water company rather than with you, and paying for private work on it is money you did not need to spend.
It is worth establishing before anyone starts work, not after the invoice. If we find the run is not your responsibility, we will tell you so and explain who to report it to.
Signs the blockage is beyond your boundary
- More than one property affected at the same time
- The chamber nearest the road is full while ones closer to the house are not
- Neighbours reporting slow drainage in the same week
- Clearing your own run makes no lasting difference
What actually causes a blocked toilet
Wet wipes are the single most common cause we find, including the ones marketed as flushable. They do not break down the way toilet tissue does — they stay intact, catch on a joint or a bend, and everything that follows builds up behind them.
Sanitary products, cotton buds, kitchen roll and nappy liners behave the same way. None of it is obvious from the bathroom, because the blockage forms well downstream of the pan and only shows itself when the water stops going away.
