Blocked drain in Brighton? DrainFixer covers BN1 around the clock with fully equipped jetting and CCTV vans. We're a small, family-run team based 21 miles away in East Grinstead — so you get a real local engineer, not a call centre.
Greensand and chalk ridges drain fast on the surface but concentrate groundwater lower down, so soakaways and low-lying gullies take the brunt after a downpour.
Property in Brighton ranges from converted and extended older homes — where drainage has been re-routed more than once — to modern developments with private drainage that management companies often assume the water authority maintains. It doesn't.
From the centre of Brighton out to the edges of BN1, we carry jetting, CCTV and drain rods on every van, so most jobs are solved on the first visit.
Typical arrival: 45–70 minutes to Brighton once you call. Brighton is roughly 21 miles from our East Grinstead base, and we run 24/7 — nights, weekends and bank holidays included. Call 0330 1331 347 and we'll tell you honestly when an engineer will be with you.
Yes. We cover every street in BN1 and the surrounding Brighton and Hove area, including outlying hamlets and rural properties on private drainage systems.
The most common causes we see locally are scale and debris build-up narrowing older runs, fat, oil and grease build-up from kitchen waste pipes, blocked soakaways causing standing water in gardens and driveways. A CCTV survey tells us which one it is in minutes rather than guessing.
We do. Our phone lines are staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and we treat sewage inside a property or flooding risk as a priority call-out anywhere in Brighton and Hove.
Yes — pre-purchase CCTV drain surveys in Brighton are one of our most requested jobs. You get a recorded survey, a written report and a clear list of any defects with repair options.
In Brighton and Hove, pipework inside your property boundary that only serves your home is usually yours. Shared runs and anything beyond the boundary are typically the water authority's. We'll tell you which is which before any work starts — and never charge you for a job that isn't yours.
