Brighton and Hove has an unusual flood profile. There is no main river running through the city, so the risk comes from surface water, groundwater and the sea. The city is currently one of the ten places in England most likely to encounter surface water flooding. This is because water sheds off the South Downs and runs down the steep streets faster than drains can handle.
Properties in Brighton are also susceptible to various problems. Much of the stock is old Victorian properties, many of which have been converted into student accommodation or flats for the private rent sector. In properties like these, old drainage, poor ventilation, and high occupancy often result in condensation and mould issues as well as leaks and even fire risks.
We are a full-service restoration company providing a host of damage and specialist cleaning services for residential and commercial properties in Brighton. Below, you’ll find an overview of our services. To learn more about them and what they include, follow the link.

Two recent jobs in Hove demonstrate the scope of our work.
Hydraulic oil spill at a Hove bus station
A large hydraulic oil spill closed a bus station in Hove that was undergoing refurbishment. This forced an evacuation until the area was made safe. Our team attended on the same day after the client’s attempts to contain it failed. We used high-pressure jet washing and specialist degreasers to break the fluid down. We worked into the night and returned the following morning to verify we had cleared the site. The refurbishment resumed with minimal delay. You can learn more about this job in our full Hove oil spill case study .
Mould removal in a Hove HMO
A landlord with a six-bedroom HMO in Hove had persistent black mould in three ground-floor ensuite bedrooms despite a refurbishment. Air sampling confirmed trapped moisture and high spore counts that were enhanced by the poor ventilation and broken extractor fans. Over two weeks, we cleaned and fogged the affected rooms, dried them with dehumidifiers and successfully restored humidity to a safe level. We then fixed the ventilation to stop the mould returning and make the property safe to occupy again. We explore this example in detail in our Hove HMO mould case study .
Calls come into our office at all hours, often when customers need a rapid solution to a problem that could pose both health and safety risks. Ella in Brighton left this review after an emergency call-out.
