Specialist leak detection using thermal imaging and acoustic equipment.
* Estimates only, not a quote — typical figures from recent jobs. Your engineer confirms the exact price before any work starts.
A hidden leak is the most expensive plumbing problem you can ignore — it rots floors, feeds mould, and inflates water bills for months. Modern leak detection uses acoustic and thermal imaging to find the exact spot without ripping out your home.
We match you to leak specialists who trace the source, confirm it, and give you the evidence insurers need — before anyone lifts a floorboard.
Trace and access: acoustic listening, thermal imaging and moisture meters pinpoint the leak through walls and floors.
Targeted access: only the minimal opening needed to reach the leak — not demolition by guesswork.
Repair: fixing the pipe or joint, then testing the line before making good.
Report: written findings with photos — what you need for an insurance claim.
Turn everything off, check your meter, wait an hour, check again. Movement = a leak. Do this quarterly.
A jump in your water bill with no change in habits is a classic leak signature.
A stable stain might be old damage; a growing one is active. Act before it spreads.
A quick visual check of visible pipework, valves and outside taps catches most easy leaks.
As a landlord you must keep the property's water, heating, sanitary and drainage systems in good working order and fix them promptly when they fail. You're responsible for structural repairs, the boiler and heating system, plumbing and electrics. Tenants should report faults in writing — and you should respond fast, because a small leak left unattended becomes a big claim.
