There have ben at least three blockages in our cul de sac recently. We were not affected but a group of houses opposite were. In at least one case Dyno-Rod were called and the householder paid £200 for privilege.
Turns out that, except for blockages within/affecting one property, Anglian Water will deal foc. On last occasion the guy raised various manholes working 'down' the system until he found the one that was dry as opposed to flooded.
He used a self jetting device which powers itself up the pipe with rear facing jets and the obstruction, comprised of baby wipes and female requisites cleared.
We've had a round robin this morning from the worst affected neighbour reminding us all of need for care about what we try and flush. The finger points at households with younger women/teenagers; not mine we've always been very careful to only flush that which is flushable!!
