As of April 2012 Scottish Water are duty bound to clear blockages outwith the house FOC!
It used to be that you could be charged for blockages within your garden area but £3 / £4 was added to all home water bills to cover the cost.
Phone Scottish Water, or through their website, and they will send a van round with rods etc, failing to clear this way a tanker will come around within a day later or so and blast it. Near neighbour has had 2 x visits in the last 6 months due to a bad bend on his property - Rods and Camera was no good - he needed the cavalry with the water cannon!
My grandfather had a plumber's business 50 years ago and, according to him, the biggest cause of blockages was 6" $h1t3s down 4" pipes - for our younger members (15 cm & 10cm)
