It's about 2-3m from the outlet, there's probably another 1-2m before a point where I know it's not blocked. Kitchen sink, shower and share the same drain, seemingly, as they're blocked too. The blocked drain feeds into another (probably the house's original) drain, which is also fed by a sink that is working. Shoved a rod up that for 4m with no effect, so these two feeds probably come into that at either side via T-junction. I reckon the blockage is under the floorboards, so my hero of a dad is going to help me pull some up on Friday and see what we can see. I don't think it's a collapsed pipe as there's standing water in the bathroom sink still.

If you need a plumber, I know a couple of good ones, 1 covers south london and 1 usually works in North London (Camden sort of areas). Shoot me a PM if you need numbers.

Ah cheers, but I'm in Bristol anyway. Like I say, my dad, who's pretty damn handy, is going to have a look at it with me on Friday. Until then luckily I have a second sink, can shower at the gym and the girlfriend is away. Couldn't have happened at a better time tbh.
