Emergency plumber
in Bognor Regis.

Plumbing in a seaside town has a few extra challenges that inland areas don't deal with. Salt-laden air corrodes outdoor copper pipework, boiler flue terminals and external isolation valves much faster than in landlocked Sussex. We routinely find pinhole leaks on copper feeds running along outside walls of properties on Aldwick Road, Marine Drive and around the Esplanade — leaks that started as green oxidation a year or two before they finally gave way.

Bognor also has a lot of older Victorian and Edwardian housing stock, particularly in the Aldwick conservation area and around the town centre, where the original cold mains and waste pipes weren't designed for modern dishwasher and washing machine loads. Sudden blockages, leaking traps under kitchen sinks and burst feeds in poorly insulated outhouses are some of our most common callouts.

The seasonal holiday-let market in Bognor adds another wrinkle. Properties that sit empty between bookings can suffer airlocks, stale water in unused bathrooms, and pinhole leaks that go undetected for weeks. If you manage a holiday let and arrive between guests to find a damp ceiling or a slow drain, call us before the next changeover — we can usually be there the same day and get it sorted before your next booking.
