Thanks. We're ground floor. The last plumber said it might be simply because the flats above are sharing the same pipe further down. I know there's water access and some kind of drain out the front of our place which might provide scope for inspection/cleaning.
hippy-
Worth asking the other flats if they have slow draining toilets still.
If the blockage is in a shared part of the system (further down) then at least its not just your problem to deal with. Although I would assume that any kind of root ingress/collapsed pipe/ small blockage issue on a high usage pipe (shared building etc) would surface a pretty obvious problem and become a serious blockage pretty quickly.
Can you lift the inspection cover and take a look out front?

Do you know that other flats are experiencing the same issue?
If not then you need to get it looked at and it may get "jetted/flushed" from inside your bog or there might be an access from outside if you're lucky (depending on what level/height your flat is at)
If its further down the line i.e when your pipes are meeting other flat pipes and other flats have the same issue, it would be the responsibility of whatever agent/factor you have that deals with building issues.
