Blocked Loo - Whos Liable?
Comments

When this happened to us, we were able to disconnect the loo, put a hand down the pipe at the back and pull it out. Fortunately it had not gone far and was still in reach but had got wedged in such a way as to cause a blockage.
I have never used a rim block since.0 -

Anyone kno how to disconnect the loo?
I kno its there.. I was up to my elbows in it last nite and could feel it.. I tried with coat hanger but only had a plastic bendy one!0 -
As far as I can recall my OH undid the two screws at the bottom of the pan that holds it to the floor and wiggled it forward out of the joining collar. It was a bit of devil to get it to go back in afterwards but some manhandling did the trick and he then replaced the screws and voila.0

A metal coat hanger should do the trick. Worth persevering.
If it needs to be removed, you''ll need to specify whether it's close-coupled or traditional.
Given that you know it's your fault, I'm surprised you would expect the LL to pay. If the LL is a bit of a handyman, he may well do the job himself/herself but he will think you are a pain in the neck if you call him out too often.
The LL is responsible for providing sanitary equipment. Clearly, he has done his part and you have caused it to fail.

I didnt say I expected them to pay.. If I was liable then I would pay no probs.. I jst wanted to check what was what
However I sorted it myself
and its no longer a prob..x
The LL is a woman and shes no handyman lol.. but I never call her for anything even things that she should fix.. i jst do it myself.. but was unsusre about this time.
Thanx peeps..x0 -
Glad you got it sorted sheryldoc.The stupid things you do, you regret... if you have any sense, and if you don't regret them, maybe you're stupid. - Katharine Hepburn0
