Why Toilets Block
Toilet blockages are usually caused by too much toilet paper, wipes, scale build-up, a partial collapse, root ingress or a restriction further down the line. Often the toilet itself isn’t the only problem. The blockage may be in the pipework behind the toilet or further along the drain.
Downstairs toilets are especially prone to blockages because waste has a longer run to travel, or because the main soil pipe is restricted. If your toilet keeps blocking, scale may be narrowing the pipe. Our guide to drain descaling explains more.
Downstairs Toilet Blockages and SVP Access
Some blockages can’t be cleared properly through the toilet pan alone. Where needed, we open the soil vent pipe (SVP) outside to reach the blockage behind the toilet or further down the system. It’s often the best option for stubborn downstairs toilet blockages, where the problem sits in the stack or the horizontal run rather than the toilet itself.
Using the right access point clears the problem more effectively, with less mess and no unnecessary dismantling. Read soil vent pipes explained.
Cracked or leaking soil pipe? Old cast iron soil stacks can crack, rust through or leak at the joints. We replace them with modern plastic pipework, typically from £950 + VAT depending on the connections and the condition of the rest bend. See soil pipe replacement.
Saniflo and Macerator Toilets
A Saniflo or other macerator toilet works differently from a normal toilet. It pumps waste through a small pipe, so a blockage or a pump that won’t stop running needs a different approach. We repair and install macerators for toilets and showers where a normal drain can’t reach. Read about Saniflo installation and repairs.

Toilet Unblocking FAQs
How much does it cost to unblock a toilet?
Most blocked toilets are cleared with rods or a plunger for a fixed £75 + VAT. If it needs a jetting machine or other specialist equipment, it’s a fixed £150 + VAT in total. You never pay for both. Fixed prices apply Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Evenings, weekends and bank holidays may cost more, and we’ll tell you the rate before we set off.
Is there a call-out charge?
No. There’s no call-out charge when we carry out the work. If we come out and can’t do any work at all, for example nobody’s in or the toilet has cleared before we arrive, there’s a minimum wasted-visit charge of £30 + VAT. We’ll mention it when you book.
Why does my downstairs toilet keep blocking?
Downstairs toilets often have a longer, flatter run to the drain, so waste and paper can build up. Scale, a restricted soil pipe or a problem further down the drain can also be the cause. We’ll find out why and, where applicable, show you on camera.
Can you unblock a Saniflo toilet?
Yes. Macerator toilets work differently, so we check the pump and the small-bore pipework as well as the toilet. See Saniflo installation and repairs.
Are you available at night and at weekends?
Yes. Call or WhatsApp us 24/7 on 07375 521027. Evenings, weekends and bank holidays may cost more, and we’ll tell you the rate before we set off.
Is toilet unblocking guaranteed?
Yes. Unblocking comes with a 12-month guarantee, as long as the drainage isn’t misused or damaged.
