Hi, any advice highly appreciated here please as I've already spent GBP1600 and still not had my plumbing issue resolved. In short, I live on the 3rd floor of an Victorian conversion and experiencing constant toilet blockages. Plumber came over and said it looks like there's not enough fall from toilet seat to main vertical soil pipe which runs down the outside wall to the basement. There is around 6 metres of distance from toilet to main vertical soil pipe and we think there's about 15cm of fall (which I believe is the minimum required for successful flow). The plumber is suggesting we put up scaffolding to lift the pipe from the exterior to investigate but i'm worried that after spending 2k on scaffolding the answer will be "sorry, we can't raise the pipe enough". What I find hard to believe though is prior owner lived in this flat for nearly 10years and can't possibly have done so without a functioning toilet. Is there anything else we can do? I've heard a Saniflo/pump toilet is a possibility but you can't have one if this is the only toilet in your flat. Thanks in advance
