Customer experiences
What customers say
“Absolutely first-rate service. They found a pipe leak behind my bathroom wall that three other plumbers missed. Non-destructive and very professional!”
“The commercial property required tracing a leak under a concrete slab. Their tracer gas method was incredibly accurate—saved us days of digging.”
“Prompt, precise, and worth every penny. They located an underground leak near my driveway quickly. Excellent customer care throughout.”
Common signs
Not sure where the water is coming from?
These are common reasons to arrange specialist leak detection.
Damp with no visible source
Staining or damaged finishes can appear away from the leak itself.
Flooring is lifting or warm
Water beneath a floor needs careful investigation before opening up.
Unexpected water use or sound
Running-water sounds or unusual usage can justify a closer survey.

Simple from the start
From the first call to the next steps for repair
You do not need to know where the leak is or which test to ask for. Start with what you have noticed.
Tell us what is happening
Call or request a callback. We will discuss your symptoms, postcode and property, and explain the proposed investigation and quote before you book.
Locate the hidden leak
An independent engineer investigates the likely source, choosing tests to suit the property. The aim is to narrow down the leak before opening floors, walls or ground.
Discuss repair and findings
Engineers usually repair the leaks they find. Access, the work required and any additional costs are agreed with the contractor. Some repairs need a separate visit.
Thermal imaging, acoustic listening and tracer gas can help narrow down concealed leaks. The engineer chooses suitable methods for the conditions; no single test suits every leak. Explore the investigation methods.
What we help investigate
Real leaks. Specific answers.
From a heating pipe beneath a kitchen tile to concealed leaks at business premises, these jobs show how a focused investigation can help.

A buried water-supply leak
Acoustic checks and pressure testing located an underground supply leak, guiding excavation. The engineer repaired the pipe and tested it afterwards.

A concealed leak at commercial premises
An after-hours investigation used moisture checks and acoustic pipe tracing to locate a leak in a service void. The engineer repaired it and recorded the findings.

Could your policy help with the cost?
If an escape of water has damaged your property, your policy may include trace-and-access cover for reasonable costs of locating and accessing the leak. Cover depends on your policy and circumstances.

Questions before you book
How much does a leak-detection survey cost?
The quote depends on the property and the investigation needed. Before booking, agree the scope and price, including whether a report is required. Ask about any separate charges for access, repairs and making good.
Can a leak be found without damaging the property?
The aim is to focus the search before anything is opened. Whether access is required depends on the property and the circumstances.
Does buildings insurance cover leak detection?
Some policies include trace-and-access cover. Cover depends on the policy, cause and damage, so reimbursement should never be assumed.
Will the engineer repair the leak?
Engineers usually repair leaks, but this depends on the fault, access and work required. Agree the repair and any additional cost with the contractor. A repair on the same visit cannot be promised.
Can I get a report for an insurance claim?
Tell us before booking if you need a leak-detection report, and agree its scope and cost with the contractor. Claims assistance requires a leak-detection report. A loss assessor’s water-damage survey is a separate service; insurance cover depends on your policy and circumstances.
