What to do if you have toilet trouble

Prevention is better than cure, and if you avoid flushing down nappies and baby wipes etc. then you reduce the risk of blockage. If you need to dispose of a large quantity of toilet paper than consider bagging it up and removing it that way, or use several short flushes instead of trying to deal with the entire problem in one big one. If your toilet is overflowing then turn off the water at the mains to avoid a flood. And if you have toilet trouble despite taking all of our advice, then don’t worry. Many minor problems are easily resolved and if you call us we can fix most in next to no time. Call our local plumbers below for more advice.
