Toilet & Cistern Specialists Currigee Homes and Businesses Trust

Overflowing toilets are typically the result of a blockage further down the drain preventing waste from clearing properly, though a faulty fill valve that keeps adding water without shutting off can also be the culprit. In some cases, a sewer line issue beyond the property boundary pushes water back up through the pan. We inspect the toilet, cistern and connecting drain to work out exactly where the fault lies before recommending a fix.

Most blockages caused by paper, wipes or general use can be cleared using the correct auger technique without needing to remove the toilet pan. If an object has become lodged, or the blockage sits further down the drain line, we may recommend a camera inspection to locate the obstruction before deciding on the best approach. Removing the pan is only considered when other methods will not resolve the issue safely.

Yes, our plumbers service in-wall and concealed cistern systems, including popular brands, through the flush plate wherever access allows. This means valves, buttons and seals can often be replaced without disturbing surrounding tiles or wall sheeting. We recommend having concealed cisterns checked periodically, as hidden leaks can sit undetected until damage becomes noticeable.

A weak flush often comes down to a low water level in the cistern, partially blocked jet holes under the rim of the pan, or a restriction further along the drain that stops waste clearing efficiently. Older dual-flush cisterns can also lose pressure as internal components wear down. We check each of these areas systematically to restore a strong, reliable flush.

Yes, a toilet leaking around its base should be looked at promptly, as it usually points to a failed pan collar or a loose connection between the pan and the drain. Left unattended, this kind of leak can damage flooring, subfloor timber and even ceilings below if the bathroom sits on an upper level. Resealing the collar or refitting the pan correctly generally resolves the issue.
