Over the last few weeks, i've noticed that the water level in my upstairs toilet has dropped about half inch from the norm, can anyone shed any light on why it would do that. The downstairs is still ok.

Maybe someone has adjusted the ball valve ?
I dunno if water temperature may be an issue.
Have you cleaned out the ball valve to see if it returns to original level ?

in the bowl?.. it maybe the weather, and i know this sounds strange, but our loo water level changes with changing air pressure, making it an interesting barometer.
yes, inside the bowl.......its never happened before, just in the past 2-3 weeks there has been a considerable difference.......may look down the sewer drain in the garden to see if anything has happened down there to cause a pressure drop.

What happens to the level when you flush the bowl?
Some have a syphoning effect that practically empties the bowl during flush, then fills the bowl up again to the level of the invert of the bend after the syphon effect is broken.
In simple types water level rises and washes material over the bend. Then water level falls back to level of the bend invert.

If the toilet is syphonic this is a common problem when the bong goes. The part is around £20 and it can be an awkward job sometimes. However, do bear in mind toilets nowdays are cheap.
If the toilets share a soil stack, then it could be a partial blockage in the one with the low water level.MarkGrainger said:
If different stacks, then suspect vent, or the run into the foul waste, or both.
You have a fault too then!sidecar_jon said:
