If the blocked drain is outside and running into the main drainage system I would first call Thames Water. They will send out an engineer quickly who will ascertain if it's their problem - ie caused by a blockage in the main system that's outside the boundaries of your own property. If this is the case they will sort it out free of charge. If it turns out to be your problem they will quote to complete the work or let you call in a plumber. I have found them to be highly competent.

Another recommendation for Dave from Down the Drain. Unblocked the drains at my Mum's house within a day of me calling him, called me to let me kow he was going to be slightly late (as my Mum is elderly and he didn't want her to worry), charged very little, called me afterwards to let me know what the issue was and gave some sound advice about how to tackle the issue should it happen in the future. I'm delighted. http://down-the-drain.co.uk/

    • There was good item on Radio 4’s consumer affairs programme You &Yours on 1st December. It was about these CIC fund raising scams and refers to this We R Blighty mob in particular (they have been successfully prosecuted twice and fined for their activities in the City of London). Also mentioned the “knife crime charity” lot who also show up in ED. The advice was to give them nothing and that they are breaking the law. It’s on the BBC Sounds app or via this link  (the item starts at 41m51s in): https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n065      I think you know perfectly well that is not what the poster is saying. There are a lot of CICs (there are now 37,000 of them) that have been set up specifically to mislead the public into handing over money. This We R Blighty is one such. These are the details of one of the cases against them in the City last month: https://news.cityoflondon.gov.uk/we-r-blighty-told-to-pay-out-thousands-over-illegal-collections/
    • Are you saying all CICs are dodgy? I think that’s totally unfair.
    • Similar deal to those Hive City guys who also camp outside of M&S, also a dodgy CIC rather than a charity
