Usually, when clearing blockages, it works better to pull with a force cup, rather than push.
clever guy ...
does that matter? ....
sink then
Following disastrous floods my friend's house was repaired at six-figure cost by Legal and General. It has been 'flood proofed'. This involves flood gates at all entrances, flood-proof air bricks, a pump under the floor that keeps a sump empty, stop taps on all small drains, and a thing that fits into the downstairs toilet and inflates.

Depends whether you're the midwife or the patient.

My top floor bog has it's own pipe to the inspection chamber in the yard. There's a bend where the pipe leaves the house. When it blocks there's no warning until the top floor bog fills when I flush. The I have to rod the pipe from the yard. Once I've cleared the blockage I have to jump back fast because a lot of stuff comes down bloody quick.

Muchhhh cheaper than Pimlico plumbers too.
Downstairs loo has been a building regs requirement for new properties for ages, surely ?.
People living in a ground floor flat have problems if someone higher up flushes (or tries to) nappies down the loo. If this blocks the inspection chamber outside the building, then eventually the ground floor flat will get flooded with all the s**te etc from the upper floors.
We have a house built in 1972 without a ground floor loo. So, 'ages' must be less than 50 years. :)
very true
what do you expect of a London company ? ....
ten years ago it was a space that could be converted to a cludgy in the near of Scotland anyway...but the new owners took the cupboard away to get a bigger living room....
I think the requirement is merely one of accessibility. As long as a wheelchair CAN get to it it can be anywhere. Even in a 13th floor block of flats.
Notwithstanding most people like a ground floor loo.
