    Overflowing toilet

    My toilet has started to overflow when you flush the loo, sometime the overflow continues for about 30secs to 1 min and then stops, other times it keeps going until I flash the loo again a few times.

    Cracks in wall and ceilings

    Additionally it is a mid-terraced house, is it worth checking with the neighbours next door on either side whether they also have cracks? With regards to a report, do I need to get a Specific Structural Inspection (SSI) or General Structural Inspection (GSI) report?
