Given it's how I (used to) charge, it seemed amusing to me. I wouldn't have bothered had I known how many people would get bent out of shape about it.

Glazed ceramic certainly does do this. We had exactly the same problem and, luckily, next-door's kitchen also drains into it. Their house was built in 1934 and ours in 1935, so that made it a pre-1937, shared drain

- which meant United Utilities re-laid it for free. Lucky, as there was also a collapse in the middle of the road and that would have cost us many thousands of pounds to fix otherwise.

Private drains here, I'm afraid.

Shared by any chance? If so, the law changed and the shared portion is now the water company's problem.

So do I, but then I don't do an hours' travelling for a ten minute job. IME people who do usually have a callout fee which might include some time, and then have an hourly rate.
