Leak detection and repair

Not every leak is obvious. A damp patch, a stained ceiling, a boiler that keeps losing pressure or a water bill that suddenly jumps can all point to a hidden leak. We trace it to the source and repair it with as little disruption as possible.

24/7 emergency call-out, 365 days a year

When to call us

  • Damp patches or stains on walls and ceilings
  • Lifting floorboards or a musty smell
  • Boiler pressure dropping with no visible leak
  • The water meter moving with every tap off

What’s included

  • Leak tracing on hot, cold and heating pipework
  • Pressure testing to confirm the leak is fixed
  • Repairs to pipework, joints, valves and fittings
  • A leak check before we leave every job

Leak checks are part of every job

Emergency leak repairs and leak checks both appear in our Google review topics. Whatever we fix, we check our own joints and the surrounding pipework before we pack up.

What customers say

“Very good service. On-time. Upfront rate quotes were reasonable. They diagnosed a water heater problem as part of the same service call and it was fixed quickly. I'll use them again no question.”
