Where is the blockage? have you tried clearing it yourself, normally pretty simple.

Last year I had a blocked loo - water not draining away and pan filling to the brim.  Called plumber. He asked me for my mop and a plastic bag. He put bag over the mop head. Put it in the loo and plunged several times.  Blockage cleared immediately and been good ever since.

I really love and admire these primative "african" solutions!
