The Problem

Most leaks are silent until they've already caused damage

By the time a ceiling stains or a wall blisters, a leak has often been running for weeks. The hardest part isn't fixing it - it's finding it. A two-pence worn washer in a bathroom can drip into a kitchen that looks fine from above. We carry proper detection kit so we don't make a mess of the house guessing.

Signs to watch for

If you've noticed one of these, call us

  • Water meter ticking when nothing's in use - supply-side leak
  • Damp patch spreading on a wall, ceiling or skirting
  • Water bill creeping up with no change in usage
  • Musty smell in a cupboard, under a sink, near pipework
  • Bubbling paint or lifted wallpaper near bathrooms or kitchens
  • Warm spot on a cold floor - possible hot-water pipe leak below
  • Dripping sound you can hear but can't locate
  • Tenant reporting a leak - we can investigate discreetly and report back
What we do

Trace. Confirm. Repair. Prove it's fixed.

  1. Rule out the obvious first. We check visible pipework, under-sink connections, WC cisterns and appliance feeds before anything invasive. Half of all "mystery" leaks live somewhere we can reach without lifting a single board.
  2. Use detection kit where we need to. Acoustic correlators for pressurised pipes, thermal imaging for hot-water runs, moisture meters for plaster and timber. We choose based on what the symptoms suggest - not what's most expensive.
  3. Open up carefully, not widely. If we need to lift a board or cut a hatch, we cut small, clean and repositionable. Minimal redecoration afterwards.
  4. Repair with matched materials. Copper to copper, plastic to plastic, proper solder joints or purpose-made fittings - no mixing compounds that fail in two years.
  5. Prove the fix. Pressure test held for 15+ minutes, meter rechecked with all outlets closed, moisture re-measured at the damaged area. Only then do we leave.
  6. Insurance-ready report on request, with photos, readings and a summary - useful for claims and for confirming root cause.
