Eastbourne homes and their plumbing
Much of central Eastbourne was laid out from the 1850s onwards on land owned by the Duke of Devonshire. The plan gave the town its wide streets and big houses, and many of those houses have since been turned into flats and hotels. A few keep their original layout, but most have been divided.
Old plumbing in a large house was never designed for six bathrooms. When it fails, water travels between floors and can affect several homes at once. We find the source, stop it, and tell each owner or tenant what has happened. Where it is a shared pipe, we tell the freeholder or managing agent as well.
The town has grown a long way east since then. Langney, Shinewater and Sovereign Harbour are much newer, with sealed heating systems and combi boilers. For breakdowns, our page on boiler repairs in Eastbourne explains what we can do, and if you smell gas, call 0800 111 999 before you call us.
Eastbourne has many older residents and a lot of holiday flats. If you are calling for a relative, tell us so we can speak to them first. If you manage a let, we can use a key safe and fix the fault between guests, from a blocked sink to leaking taps and showers in Eastbourne. Further west along the coast, our emergency plumbers in Brighton are the same team.
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 in Eastbourne, answered
Yes. The emergency line is staffed by our own team through the night. You speak to OGB Sussex, not an answering service.
It depends on traffic and where the engineer is. We call you back within 30 minutes and give you an honest window then, rather than a time we cannot keep.
Turn the stopcock off, catch what water you can, and move anything valuable out of the way. If water is near lights or sockets, switch off the electrics at the fuse box if you can do it safely.
Yes. Let us know when you ring. We will phone them before we arrive, explain the repair in plain terms, and let you know when we have finished.
Yes. We work with owners and managers of Eastbourne holiday lets, can use a key safe for access, and fix faults between bookings where we can.
Yes. For a second home or a flat between tenants, we can turn off the water and drain the system, so nothing is left to freeze or leak while it stands empty.
Yes. We can come early or late to keep rooms in use, and our multi-trade team can repair a damaged ceiling or bathroom afterwards.
No. Dial the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 and leave the building. Once they have made it safe, call us to sort out the boiler or pipework.
Yes. We take calls from Eastbourne every day of the year, bank holidays included.
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.
