... .'they found standing water there that apparently means the exit pipe is locked and needs to be cleared'... .. Do you mean BLOCKED ? if so, a regular plummer can fix this. I think rates start at around £80. There's pleanty of plummer reccomendations here on HoL.
we had a similar problem, and got some rods and did it ourselves. Well, him indoors did..
I had this problem a few years ago Alison. It was nappy wipes and the liners from our cloth nappies that got flushed done the bog. Once one get caught in the very small drain at the end of the large chamber that should be under your man hole cover another catches, and another and so on until you need dynarod.
You could get some rods and have a crack yourself, but you might not fancy it. It is likely to be nappy stuff or fat (cooking fat- see this beauty! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23584833). Maybe give that a go first if you are up for it.

You are only responsible for the problem to your boundary and not beyond. & are not at all responsible if any other properties than yours, connect into this manhole cover
I would go with Thames water, if u cant fix it yourself
I have a leak in the basement from the source pipe on the street outside my property to within the property and Thames water have offered to pay for it all. seems like a new venture to tackle leaks. Hope this helps
