loads snipped

Its just come to my attention that I have a drain problem at the front
of my house.

Before you beg/buy a set of rods ........ if you have a hosepipe, turn
it on full and have a poke down the pipe with that. There is a very good
chance it will clear it if its just a load of "gunk" blocking the
system.

Probably the Water Board's problem if it's a shared drain.
