Common drainage symptoms we see in Brighton

• Slow-draining sinks, baths or showers
• Bad smells, gurgling and air bubbles
• Toilets struggling to flush or overflowing
• Outside gullies backing up in heavy use or rain

What usually causes these issues

• Build-up: grease, soap, hair, scale and sludge gradually narrow pipework.
• Wrong items: wipes, sanitary waste and excess paper commonly snag in bends.
• Silt and debris: especially in gullies and older external runs.
• Structural faults: roots, cracked pipes, displaced joints, poor falls or dips.

Safe checks you can try first

• Run water in rarely used fixtures to restore the trap seal (can stop smells).
• Check and clean sink traps/strainers and remove obvious hair/grease.
• If multiple fixtures are slow at once, it’s often a main run restriction — avoid harsh chemicals and get it cleared properly.
