Advice
- A blocked toilet is not an emergency unless you have no other toilet you can use.
- You should always try to clear any blockages. See Clearing a blocked waste.
- If a blockage is caused by items such as nappies, toys etc, we will charge you for the cost of clearing it.
- If you caused the damage, we expect you to get it repaired yourself.
- If we need to replace a toilet which is part of an existing suite, we will try to achieve a colour match.
We need to know
