What goes wrong in Hove homes
Hove was a separate borough until it joined Brighton under one council in 1997. It has kept its own character, with wide residential streets running down to the lawns on the seafront. For the people who answer our phones, these are familiar streets.
The housing changes as you head north. Near the sea there are tall stucco terraces and squares, most of them now flats. Further up, towards the A27, the streets are mostly inter-war and post-war houses, many with a loft tank, a cylinder and pipework that has been altered several times. Each brings its own kind of emergency. A basement flat, a top-floor conversion and a 1930s semi can all be on the same short walk.
In older systems, many emergencies start with something that has been failing quietly for years: a loft tank valve, a cistern fill valve, a radiator valve under a bay window. If water is running from a small pipe on the outside wall, deal with it before it turns into a ceiling leak. Our page on overflowing tanks in Hove explains what to check.
For a broken boiler, see our boiler repair service in neighbouring Brighton, and remember that a smell of gas means calling 0800 111 999 first. Further west, past Portslade and Southwick, our emergency plumbers in Worthing are the same team. Either way, the number to call is 01273 044054.
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 Hove, answered
Yes. Our office is at Unit 3a, Stockwell Lodge Studios, 129-133 Conway Street, Hove BN3 3LW. Our team runs the emergency line from there.
Within 30 minutes of your request. We will give you an arrival window on that call, and only one we expect to keep.
Yes. We stop the water first, then agree with you how to reach the pipe with as little disturbance as possible. If plaster or boards have to come up, our own trades put them back.
Yes. If a flat is empty between tenants or over winter, we can turn off the water and drain the system so a frozen or failed pipe cannot flood it.
Yes. We work with agents, landlords and tenants, arrange access, and send the agent a short written report of what we found and fixed.
Yes. Mention it when you ring us. We will speak to them before we arrive and let you know what we have done once the leak is fixed.
Yes. We can come before opening or after closing, so a leak or blocked sink in a Hove business does not shut you for the day.
Leave the flat, do not use any switches, and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999. When they have made it safe, we can look at the plumbing or heating fault.
Yes. The line is open every day and night of the year, bank holidays included, and our own team answers it.
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.
