Advanced leak detection technology to pinpoint hidden leaks fast — saving you money, water, and structural damage before it escalates.

From £120 – £250
What We Do

Expert Leak Detection Services

Hidden leaks are one of the most damaging — and costly — plumbing problems a property can face. Water silently seeps through walls, beneath floors, and behind fixtures, causing structural damage, mould growth, and sky-high water bills long before the leak becomes visible. Our specialist team uses state-of-the-art diagnostic technology to locate leaks with pinpoint accuracy.

We deploy a combination of acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, and tracer gas equipment to detect leaks without the need for invasive excavation or demolition. This non-destructive approach means we can identify the exact source of a leak — whether it's in your mains supply, central heating pipework, or underground drainage — with minimal disruption to your home or business.

Once identified, our engineers provide a full written report detailing the leak's location, severity, and recommended repair options. We're fully transparent about costs before any work begins, so there are no surprises on your bill. From Victorian terraces to modern new-builds, we've located leaks in all property types across the region.

Serving both domestic and commercial customers, our leak detection service is available 7 days a week. Early detection dramatically reduces repair costs and prevents the need for extensive redecoration — so don't wait until the damage becomes visible.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a hidden leak?

Common signs include an unexplained increase in water bills, damp or staining on walls and ceilings, the sound of running water when no taps are open, reduced water pressure, or warm spots on flooring. If you notice any of these, it's worth booking a professional detection survey promptly.

Is leak detection destructive to my property?

In the vast majority of cases, no. We use non-invasive acoustic and thermal imaging technology to locate leaks without cutting into walls or lifting floors. Only if a leak cannot be identified by non-destructive means will we discuss minimal access with you beforehand.

How long does a leak detection survey take?

A standard residential survey typically takes 1–2 hours depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the plumbing system. Commercial properties or larger premises may require longer. We'll give you a time estimate when you book.

Can my insurance company use your report?

Yes. Our written leak detection reports are fully detailed and accepted by most UK home insurance providers for trace and access claims. We can also liaise directly with your insurer on your behalf if required.

Do you offer emergency leak detection?

Yes. We offer same-day emergency appointments for urgent leak situations. Call us directly and our team will prioritise your booking and have an engineer with you as quickly as possible.
