Drains and pump stations looked after in Bexhill-on-Sea, and septic tanks and treatment plants in the villages behind it.
Bexhill-on-Sea is a quiet seaside town of Edwardian streets, bungalows and newer estates, with a growing area of new homes to the north-east. It’s on mains drainage, so our work in town is blocked drains, CCTV surveys and pump stations on the newer developments.
To the west, Cooden and Normans Bay sit low beside the Pevensey Levels, where the water table is high and some properties rely on pumps. Inland, villages such as Ninfield, Hooe, Catsfield and Crowhurst have many homes and farms on septic tanks, cesspits and treatment plants, mostly on clay.
Our crews work in East Sussex most days and we answer the phone 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
We clear blocked drains at homes and businesses in Bexhill with high-pressure jetting and survey them with CCTV when problems keep coming back. Older streets often have shared drains, and we’ll help you work out who’s responsible.

Learn moreLocal knowledge
Seaside streets, new estates and wet levels.
Cooden and Normans Bay are low and close to the Pevensey Levels. High groundwater affects soakaways and drainage fields.
If you’ve moved into a new development, check whether your drains and pump station are adopted or privately managed.
Villages north of the town are mostly on clay, where drainage fields struggle in winter.
