Leak Detection & Burst Pipe Repair in Brighton, Hove & Sussex Coast
Most domestic leaks come from failed compression joints, corroded copper, pinholes in old pipework, or seals around baths, showers and waste traps. Finding the source matters more than the repair: we trace the leak first, then repair the section that actually failed rather than patching the damp patch you can see.

Leaks & burst pipes near you in Brighton, Hove & Sussex Coast: what we see locally
Converted flats and HMOs
Multiple bathrooms plumbed into a stack designed for one household is the standard Brighton conversion problem. It shows up as slow drainage, gurgling and blockages that recur every few months.
Holiday lets and hospitality
Short-let properties and food businesses need fast turnaround because downtime costs money directly. Out-of-hours attendance is often the only workable option.
Coastal wear on external pipework
Salt-laden air accelerates corrosion on external fittings, brackets and flue terminals. External pipework here needs checking more often than inland.
