Ouch, sounds like a mascerator toilet...those are always trouble. We have one which was here when we moved in. I've pretty much banned anyone from using it unless there is an utmost emergency as just looking at them the wrong way seems to cause a blockage!
Indeed it is. Installed in the 1980s, under the house's previous owner (who was semi-invalid); we bought in 1990. The only problem we have ever had with it is when the seals dissolved because the bleach we used was too strong; regular service and judicious use has preserved it until now. Which is not bad, considering the waste and feed pipes are now way too small (ie narrow) according to current building regs.
Aye, I think Mascerator regs have gone up from 40-50mm, whereas normal soil pipe is 125mm minimum? I hate the things, and from what I can gather so do most plumbers. If it was me I'd rip it out and make a storage cupboard instead, now its gone wrong

Just put today's recruits together. The upper hull structure on the Lee had moments of interest, I'll have a go at the Battlefront one tomorrow by way of comparison.
