the loo
22 Answers
My loo has been playing up for some time. It has not been flushing properly, my son broke part of the inside cystern off whilst trying to mend it and then turned the water off.
So for two/three months we were pulling saucepans of water down to flush the loo.
Now I've had someone out to put in new parts in the cystern. But its still not working right. The water seems to fill almost up to the brim of the toilet each time it flushes and it takes loads of flushes to clear the loo.
Could it be blocked - and if so - how would I go about unblocking it. By the way it is a fairly new installed bathroom suite - only about 5 years old. Thanks
