Hello, looking for some advice about an issue that's just occurred.
We have an 18yr old semi with bathroom and ensuite upstairs, downstairs toilet, all plumbing etc has been working fine
2 nights ago the plughole in the bathroom started gurgling when either of the upstairs toilets were flushed and toilets not draining properly when flushed.
This persisted yesterday, very slow for all 3 toilet bowls to drain
The Mrs had a bath and when she drained it the toilet bowl in the ensuite started bubbling, the shower cubicle was gurgling then some of the bath water actually came through the waste pipe in the garage, the one that the washer waste pipe goes into. It cause a minor flood in the garage, just a couple of litres I think, not all the bath water.
Also when we run the basin tap in the bathroom or ensuite the bath plughole gurgles.
I've cleaned a bit of hair out of the bath plug and run a course of Mr Muscle through the bath plug, the basins and bath plug are draining quickly enough
I've ordered a dccent bellow style plunger from amazon coming today and will see if that can blow any blockage away
So to summarise toilets are draining away just slowly and plugholes and toilets are gurgling at times and water popping out from the bath into the garage.
Any help or advice would be appreciated
Thanks

I think it must be a blockage in the main drain, my neighbour has had issues too, been trying to get the manhole cover up for the last 90 mins , it won't budge, it's the block paving recess type
