Blocked Drains Experts Serving Lewes
A blocked drain brings slow-draining sinks, gurgling toilets, foul smells, and eventually sewage backup — problems that only get worse the longer they are left. A&B Drainage Solutions provides blocked drain clearance in Lewes, backed by over 33 years' experience and fully equipped vans on every job. Our line is answered around the clock, and we typically reach Lewes addresses quickly — day or night.
We clear blockages with high-pressure jetting up to 4,000 PSI, electro-mechanical coring, and rodding, then flow-test the drain before we leave — clearance guaranteed. Lewes sits in East Sussex, where the public sewers are managed by Southern Water — if a problem turns out to be on the public side, we'll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction. Listed and period properties in Lewes benefit from our minimally invasive repair methods.

Blocked Drains in Lewes: What to Know
Your drain or the sewer?
If neighbours' drains are backing up too, the blockage is probably in a shared sewer. In Lewes those belong to Southern Water, which clears them free of charge. If only your property is affected, it's usually your own drain.
Blocked gully in the road?
Road gullies and surface water on public roads in Lewes are the responsibility of East Sussex County Council. Report those to them directly.

Who's Responsible for Your Drain in Lewes?
Your own drain
Pipes that serve only your property and sit inside your boundary are yours to maintain. Many home insurance policies cover accidental damage to them.
Shared drains & public sewers
Since October 2011, drains shared with neighbours or running beyond your boundary are usually public sewers. In Lewes these belong to Southern Water, so faults on them can be reported to Southern Water free of charge.
Road drains & gullies
East Sussex County Council is responsible for road gullies and surface water on public roads in Lewes.
New drains, soakaways & septic tanks
New drainage work needs Building Regulations approval through Lewes District Council building control or a registered building control approver. Septic tanks and treatment plants must also meet the Environment Agency's general binding rules.
