“Had an overflowing blocked drain at the side of my house – rang around a few drain companies in Bristol that couldn’t come out on the day, rang Trent’s and they arrived within a few hours to clear it. Really friendly guys turned up and didn’t charge the earth either! Highly recommended.”

Jody Artist

”Would definitely recommend Trent’s and use them again. I had a blocked drain with an access problem. They were recommended to me after Dyno Rod and another firm couldn’t resolve the problem. Very helpful from the start. Really responsive, quick and good communication throughout.”

Frequently Asked Questions

We aim to attend emergency call-outs within 2–4 hours, depending on location and traffic conditions. Brighton’s road network can be busy, particularly along the seafront and A23, but our local engineers are positioned to reach you quickly across all BN postcodes.

Domestic drain unblocking typically starts at £80–£120, with larger commercial or complex jobs quoted individually. We always provide a clear, upfront quote before starting any work so there are no surprises. Call us for a free estimate tailored to your Brighton property.

Yes, we offer a full CCTV drain inspection service across Brighton and the surrounding East Sussex area. Using high-resolution waterproof cameras, we can identify blockages, root ingress, collapsed sections, and structural defects throughout your drainage system. Survey reports are provided digitally and are especially useful for property purchases, insurance claims, or diagnosing recurring issues in Brighton’s older housing stock.

Yes — preventative maintenance is one of the best investments for any Brighton property. We offer scheduled drain jetting, CCTV health checks, and maintenance contracts that help catch problems before they escalate. Regular servicing is particularly recommended for older properties, high-use commercial kitchens, and homes with mature trees near drainage runs.

Absolutely. We work with homeowners, landlords, letting agents, restaurants, hotels, retail units, and commercial premises across Brighton and Hove. Our commercial drainage team understands the demands of busy venues — particularly along the seafront and in the North Laine — and we offer flexible scheduling including out-of-hours callouts to minimise disruption to your business.

Common causes in Brighton include fat, oil and grease build-up (particularly in the city’s many restaurants and cafés), wet wipes and sanitary items flushed down toilets, tree root ingress from Brighton’s leafy streets and parks, and silt accumulation in older Victorian-era drainage infrastructure. Coastal properties can also experience sediment and sand ingress during storms.

Yes, we specialise in no-dig drain repair methods including patch lining, full pipe relining, and structural lining. These trenchless techniques are ideal for Brighton’s dense urban streets and terraced properties where excavation would be highly disruptive or costly. Most repairs can be completed in a single visit with no damage to driveways, patios, or gardens.

Signs that require prompt attention include gurgling noises from drains or toilets, slow drainage across multiple fixtures, foul smells inside or outside your property, water pooling in your garden or around external drains, and sewage backing up into sinks or baths. If you notice any of these in your Brighton home or business, contact us straight away — these symptoms often indicate a blockage or structural failure that will worsen if left untreated.

We cover Brighton city centre, Hove, Portslade, Shoreham-by-Sea, Worthing, Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Lewes, Newhaven, Seaford, Eastbourne, and Crowborough, as well as all surrounding East and West Sussex villages. If you’re unsure whether we cover your area, just give us a call — our team is expanding coverage across the South East.

Simply call us or use our online contact form to describe your drainage issue. Our team will arrange a convenient appointment — often same-day for emergencies. We serve all Brighton and Hove postcodes including BN1, BN2, BN3, BN41, and BN42, and our engineers arrive fully equipped to diagnose and resolve most problems on the first visit.
