A toilet that won't flush properly, or that empties slowly and then refills too high, is usually a simple clear. But a toilet that blocks repeatedly, especially if it's the only one in the house doing it, often points to a partial blockage further down the soil pipe rather than anything wrong with the toilet itself.

We clear the immediate blockage first so the toilet is usable again, then check whether it's a one-off or a sign of something further along the run that needs a proper look.

In shared student houses in Heath and family homes in Barry, toilets get heavy use, and older terraces can have narrow or sagging soil pipes. We clear the pan and check what's causing it further down.

Signs you need this

• Toilet flushes slowly or water rises higher than usual
• Toilet has blocked more than once in the last few weeks
• Gurgling from the toilet when another appliance drains
• Bad smell around the base of the toilet

How we handle it

• 1 Quick assessment over the phone — is it just this toilet, or other fixtures too
• 2 Clear the blockage, usually with rods or an auger
• 3 Flag if the pattern suggests a soil pipe issue worth investigating
