Plumbers 365 — your drainage experts in Brighton

Plumbers 365 is a national drainage and plumbing company with engineers working across the country, including Brighton. We handle everything from a slow-draining kitchen sink to a collapsed sewer, and we do it around the clock — there is no separate out-of-hours company and no answering service between you and an engineer.

Our teams are fully insured and DBS-checked, and the vans carry jetting equipment, drainage cameras and repair kit as standard, so most jobs are finished on the first visit rather than booked in for a second. We are members of the NADC and the FSB, and our work is backed by our own guarantee.

Whatever the problem in Brighton, you will get a fixed price before we start and no call-out charge. Call 0800 755 5566 and we will tell you honestly how quickly we can be with you.

Drain overflowing right now? Do this while we are on our way

  1. Stop using water. No flushing, taps, washing machine or dishwasher. Every litre adds to a system that cannot cope.
  2. Keep clear of standing sewage. It carries harmful bacteria. Keep children and pets away from the area.
  3. Do not lift manhole covers. Trapped gases and the risk of falling make this genuinely dangerous. Our engineers carry the equipment to do it safely.
  4. Move what you can. If the overflow is indoors and it is safe to do so, lift rugs, furniture and anything electrical clear of the water.
  5. Call us on 0800 755 5566. The sooner we are on the road, the less damage there is to put right.

Why drains block in Brighton

Local water in Brighton is hard to very hard, drawn from the South East Water network at roughly 290 ppm calcium carbonate, according to their own published hardness data.

Harder water leaves limescale, and limescale narrows pipework, coats heating elements and lets waste pipes clog faster than they otherwise would. Combined with fat and grease from kitchen waste, it is the most common cause of the slow-draining sinks and blocked stacks we are called to.

A good deal of Brighton’s building stock is Regency and Victorian terraced, sitting on clay drainage that is now very old indeed.

Clay is durable but brittle: joints shift, sections crack, and tree roots find their way in through the gaps. Where we are called back to the same property twice, a CCTV survey usually finds root ingress or a collapsed section rather than a simple blockage.

How we clear a blocked drain in Brighton

The engineer will diagnose before pricing, usually with a survey camera, so you are not paying for someone else’s assumption.

The bulk of blockages clear with rodding or jetting straight away. If the survey shows a break or collapse, you will see it on screen and receive a separate quote first.

What it costs in Brighton

No call-out charge. Ever.

There is no attendance fee, day or night, so you pay purely for the job.

The price is fixed before work starts and does not move. There are no later additions for overtime, parking or congestion.

The price depends on what we find underground. Some jobs are a simple jetting, others need excavation, and either way you will be told the cost first.

Blocked drain in Brighton? We are on call now. No call-out fee, fixed prices, and an engineer who can be with you in 60 to 90 minutes. Call 0800 755 5566.

A typical shared drain callout in Hanover and Preston Park, Brighton

Terraced streets around Hanover and Preston Park often produce a call from two or three neighbours at once, all reporting slow drainage on the same afternoon.A shared run is the usual culprit, and the survey normally finds the blockage sitting past the point where the properties connect rather than under any one house.We jet the shared run clear and show each household where the fault actually sat, which saves a good deal of argument about who pays.All the properties drain normally again the same day, and because the blockage was in the shared section we explain who is responsible for it going forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

We work to a 60 to 90 minute target for emergencies, including nights and bank holidays. Ring 0800 755 5566 and we will tell you plainly when we can arrive.

There is no call-out charge whenever you call. The price depends on the work and the time of attendance, and it is fixed before we begin.

The survey camera reveals structural damage immediately. We show you the recording, explain the repair options, and quote separately with no obligation.

They are, all of them. Full insurance and DBS checks are standard, as is the equipment for confined space and roadside working.

Commercial work is very much part of our business, from landlords and letting agents to pubs, restaurants and facilities managers, including planned jetting.

Generally you own the drains within your boundary, Southern Water owns the shared and public sewers, and Brighton and Hove City Council looks after highway gullies. We confirm which before starting.

The water here is hard to very hard. Scale builds faster in harder supplies, but the underlying cause of most blockages is what goes down the sink, and Regency and Victorian terraced runs have least tolerance for it.
