Drain Excavation & Re-Lay in Brighton and Hove

Drain Excavation & Re-Lay for Brighton and Hove (BN2) properties

A lot of drainage in Brighton and Hove predates the people using it. Extensions, loft conversions and added bathrooms load runs beyond their original design, and that's when hidden faults finally show. We factor that into every drain excavation & re-lay job we take in BN2.

Most common drainage problems in Brighton and Hove

  • Shared drainage disputes between neighbouring or converted properties
  • Surface water flooding where downpipes discharge into foul drains
  • Silted and overflowing gullies after heavy rain in BN2
  • Scale and debris build-up narrowing older runs
  • Fat, oil and grease build-up from kitchen waste pipes
