We lift the covers and find which side of the blockage the water is sitting. That tells us where to clear from, and whether the drain is yours or shared, before any work is charged.
- High-pressure jetting for fat, scale and silt
- Rodding for blockages that need breaking up by hand
- CCTV survey with the footage played back to you on site
- Root growth cut back in older clay runs
- Commercial kitchen drains cleared out of hours
What blocks drains in Hove
Hove has a mix of drains. The Victorian terraces around Poets’ Corner and Goldsmid mostly have old clay runs at the back, often shared by a row of houses. Much of Hangleton and West Blatchington was built in the middle of the last century, so the layouts there are simpler, but many of the original pipes are now decades old.
Tree-lined streets in The Avenues and around Hove Park look good, but roots go looking for water. They get in through the joints of old clay drains and grow into a mat that catches everything. Jetting clears it. A camera survey shows whether the joint needs a repair so the roots do not grow back.
Church Road, George Street, Blatchington Road and Portland Road have plenty of cafés, takeaways and restaurants. Fat poured down a sink sets hard in the drain once it cools. If you run a food business, we can clear the drain outside trading hours.
Since 2011, most shared drains, and drains outside your boundary, have been the responsibility of Southern Water, which runs the sewers in Hove. We locate the blockage first and tell you if it is theirs, so you can report it to them rather than paying for their repair.
