Coverage
Areas we cover in Brighton and Hove for burst pipe repair
Property styles in Brighton and Hove
Regency squares and terraces are concentrated around Brunswick, Kemp Town and the seafront, with dense Victorian terraced housing across much of the wider city, and later suburban housing further from the centre. Basement conversions, loft conversions and rear extensions are common project types on the terraced stock, subject to conservation area and party wall considerations.
Planning considerations
Brighton & Hove City Council is the local planning authority. The city has one of the highest concentrations of conservation areas of any local authority in the South East, and many properties are listed, particularly in the Regency squares. Basement work also requires careful consideration of structural and drainage issues in a dense urban setting.

Burst Pipe Repair in Brighton and Hove: FAQs
Do you provide burst pipe repair across all of Brighton and Hove?
Yes, we cover the BN1, BN2 and BN3 postcode areas in full, including Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade.
What should I do immediately if I have a burst pipe?
Turn off the water at the stopcock, switch off any electrics in the affected area if water is near them, and call us. Isolating the supply quickly is the single biggest factor in limiting damage.
How do you find a hidden leak?
We start with visual signs — damp patches, meter readings, pressure tests on isolated sections — and use tracing methods to narrow down the location before opening anything up, to avoid unnecessary disruption.
Can I extend a listed Regency property in Brighton?
Alterations to listed buildings require listed building consent in addition to any planning permission, and the historic character of Regency terraces means proposals are considered carefully. We assess feasibility on a case-by-case basis.
