Burst pipe in Brighton? Here’s what we do.
In Brighton a burst pipe rarely stays in one home. Most older houses here are split into flats, so the water finds its way through the floor into the flat below. We stop it at the source first, then deal with the damage on both levels.
- Water isolated at the stopcock, or at the shared supply in converted houses
- Split copper, plastic and old lead pipe cut out and replaced
- Hidden leaks traced under floorboards and behind walls
- Every joint pressure-tested before we leave
- Ceilings, plaster and flooring repaired by our own trades
Burst pipes in Brighton homes
Thousands of Brighton’s Victorian and Edwardian houses have been turned into two, three or four flats. The pipes were added in stages over the years, and they often run through other people’s floors and ceilings. When one splits, the first sign is usually water coming through the ceiling of the flat below. That is often how the upstairs neighbour first hears about it.
In a converted house the stopcock is not always in your flat. It can be in a basement, a shared hallway cupboard or a neighbour’s kitchen, and sometimes one valve controls the whole building. When you call, tell us how the building is laid out. We will help you find the right valve while we are on the way.
Some older Brighton homes still have lengths of lead or early copper pipe, joined to newer plastic over the years. Mixed pipework like this tends to fail at the joints. We replace the damaged section with a proper repair, not a clamp that will let go again.
Many Brighton flats are rented, and plenty are let to students or holiday guests. If you are a landlord or agent, we can deal with your tenant on site and tell you what failed and what we did.
