Plumber in Brighton and Hove

Boiler installations and larger projects: new boilers, bathroom installations, powerflushes and major boiler repairs. Brighton is around 45 minutes south of our Crawley base, so we travel for installations and major work rather than short routine visits. If what you need is a quick repair or an annual service, a local engineer will serve you better, and we will tell you so honestly.

We take on installations and major work across BN1, BN2 and BN3, including Hove, Preston Park, Kemptown, Seven Dials, Hanover, Patcham, Withdean, Rottingdean and Saltdean, and Portslade to the west. We have customers in the city going back years, in everything from Regency and Victorian terraces to the post-war homes on the outskirts.

Yes. Much of the city's housing has been split into flats, and a conversion often means a supply shared with neighbours, a stopcock in a communal area and pipes that pass through someone else's flat. We survey in person so the flue route, pipework and isolation points are understood before fitting day, and you get one fixed price for the job. Find and photograph your own isolation valve now, because in a conversion it is often outside your flat.

It can be. Brighton and Hove's water is very hard because of the chalk Downs around the city, and limescale builds up fast in boilers and fittings, especially in older Victorian terraces. When we install a boiler we clean the system, fit a magnetic filter and add inhibitor, and we recommend a scale reducer. Keep up the annual service afterwards, which a local engineer is well placed to do.

Honestly, a local engineer will usually reach you sooner. We are around 45 minutes away and concentrate on installations and major work in Brighton, not emergency call-outs. Isolate the water at your stopcock or valve first, which may be in a communal area if you live in a conversion. If the failure turns out to need a new boiler, that is work we can quote and plan with you.
