For some reason I had stopped getting email notifications of replies to this thread, so I missed the last few posts. I thank you all for your advice, for the record I will be lifting the manhole cover this weekend to see if there are signs of a blockage downstream. I have drain rods already so if that is the problem I can clear it. If I can get the elbow off I will rod or hose out the pipe and, as suggested by Happyplumber, swap it for a tee for future use.
Thanks again for everyone's advice and apologies for offending the professional drainage people.
