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/

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
