More detail needed really, there are lots of brushes out there, model number????
Sparking 'all round the commutator' is NOT indicative of a problem on the windings, rather a problem of contact on the comm caused by poor brushes and/or a dirty commutator. Brush the carbon away from the comm, particularly check the gaps between the comm segments, use a cocktail stick or a very fine watchmakers screwdriver to ensure the gaps are clean. Then, rub the comm very lightly with very fine wet & dry paper, and repeat checking the gaps, using even a toothbrush. If the comm is badly worn, expect a bit of sparking as the brushes bed in

Unless this is a very old, well used drill, and the brushes, upon inspection, are simply worn out, then most likely new brushes won't help. If you're getting a severe amount of sparking, traveling part way around the commutator as the drill is turning, then the armature is shorted out, new brushes would be a waste of time and money.

B&Q might be able to help. I got new brushes there last summer. Give them a ring.
