I know there are flexible waste pipe cleaners available from plumbers'
merchants or the sheds, anyone know if a brush-ended version is available?

Google turned up loads of bottle brushes and the like, but nothing on the
end of a couple of metres of flexible wire.

Sounds like another job for the very handy cable routing rod sets you can
get very cheaply these days: just tie a bottle brush to the end.

Nah, already got a 3m long one of those. I'm reluctant to try taping a
bottle brush to the end, as the pipe run has a couple of 45° bends before
going into a top entry on the toilet connection elbow, and I have this
dread of the brush coming adrift and me having to take a load of panelling
apart on the combined vanity unit and toilet backing. 'S gotta be a brush
actually twisted into the end of the twisty wire. Found a supplier in the
US who'll make 'em to whatever length you want, but the shipping would be
prohibitive for something that costs no more than a few pounds.

I recently unblocked a complex small bore drain run by deliberately
blocking the outlet end and back filling the whole system with caustic
soda solution and left it to soak for several hours.

Worked a treat.
