Got a plumbing emergency? Pick your problem below.
OGB Sussex is a multi-trade property maintenance firm based in Hove, and this is our emergency plumbing line. One call puts you through to our own team, day or night. We cover the whole county, from the Brighton seafront to the Weald and out to Eastbourne. Tell us what is happening and we will tell you honestly when we can be there.
Two of the most urgent jobs we deal with are burst and leaking pipes and drains that have blocked or backed up. Pick your problem below, or call 01273 044054 and talk it through with us.

One team for the whole of Sussex
West Sussex and East Sussex have separate county councils, and Brighton and Hove has its own city council. We work across all three areas from one office on Conway Street in Hove, with the same team and the same phone number wherever you live.
The plumbing changes as you travel. Coastal towns have tall period houses split into flats, where a leak in one home often ends up in another. Inland towns such as Crawley, Horsham and Burgess Hill have more post-war and modern estates, with combi boilers and plastic pipe. Villages on the Downs and in the Weald bring long supply pipes, outbuildings and older cottages, each with its own weak spots.
Each of our main towns has its own page with local detail. Read about our work in Brighton, Worthing, Crawley and Eastbourne. Hove is home, so it is the patch we reach most easily. Whichever page you start on, the call comes through to the same people.
Some emergencies are not ours to start with. If you smell gas, call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 before anything else, then call us once the supply is safe. For water damage, our plasterers, flooring fitters and decorators can put the room right after the plumbing is fixed, so you do not need a second firm. That also means one person to deal with from start to finish.
How we work
Three steps from phone call to fixed
1
Call
We ask a few questions to work out whether you need us now or first thing, and we tell you how to make the property safe in the meantime.
2
We arrive
You get a 30 minute call back from us with a named engineer and a realistic arrival window, another call when they are on the way, and then we turn up inside the window we gave you.
3
Problem solved
We stop the water, repair the fault, tidy up and tell you plainly what failed and what it will cost to put right permanently.

Questions
Emergency plumbing, answered
Yes. Calls to 01273 044054 come through to the OGB Sussex team, at any hour and on bank holidays. We do not pass emergencies to a call centre or a subcontractor.
Within 30 minutes if you request a call back, wherever you are in the county. We use that call to find out what has happened and to give you an honest arrival window.
Both East and West Sussex, plus Brighton and Hove. Our main towns are Brighton, Hove, Worthing, Crawley and Eastbourne, and we travel to the towns and villages around them. If you are not sure, call and ask.
Yes. We are a multi-trade firm, so plasterers, flooring fitters and decorators work alongside our plumbers. Once the water is stopped, the same team can put the ceiling, floor and walls right.
Turn the water off at the stopcock, usually under the kitchen sink or where the pipe comes into the house. Keep away from wet sockets and switch off that circuit if it is safe to reach. Then call us.
Not first. Ring the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 straight away, open the windows and get out of the property. Once they have made the supply safe, call us about the repair.
No work starts until you have agreed a price with the engineer. If we find something else once we are on site, we stop and talk to you before going any further.
Our team is DBS-checked and the business is fully insured. We are also rated on Checkatrade, where you can read what past customers have said about us.
Yes. We deal with tenants on site, send the landlord or agent a clear report, and can work out of hours for shops, offices and food businesses so they can keep trading.
By debit card, credit card or bank transfer, and all the usual ways. You agree the price with the engineer before any work starts.
Yes. We accept credit card payments, so there is no need to have cash ready.
