Leak Detection Across the TW Postcode Area
A hidden water leak can cause serious, expensive damage long before it becomes visible. Rising water bills, damp patches on walls or ceilings, the sound of running water when all taps are off — these are all signs that something is wrong beneath the surface. Our leak detection service is designed to find the source quickly and accurately, without resorting to guesswork or unnecessary excavation.
Non-Destructive Methods First
We use professional acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and tracer gas technology to pinpoint leaks within your pipework, underfloor heating systems, buried supply pipes and concealed plumbing runs. In most cases we can identify the exact location of a leak before any floor tile is lifted or wall is opened up. That means less disruption, lower repair costs and a faster resolution for you.
Why Acting Quickly Matters
A small, slow leak hidden inside a wall or beneath a floor can saturate structural timbers, damage plasterwork and encourage mould growth over weeks and months. If the leak is on your supply pipe before the meter, you may also be liable for the water wasted — which can add up quickly on a metered supply. The sooner the source is found, the sooner it can be repaired and the damage contained.
What We Can Detect
- Leaks on underground supply pipes and communication pipes
- Concealed leaks behind tiles, plasterboard and under screeded floors
- Underfloor heating pipe failures
- Leaking shower trays and wet room membranes
- Central heating system leaks and pressure loss
- Swimming pool and water feature pipework
The Survey Process
When we arrive, we carry out a systematic survey of your property and water system. We start with a pressure test to confirm a leak is present and gauge its severity. We then use acoustic and thermal detection to narrow down the location, followed by tracer gas injection where needed for precise pinpointing. At the end of the survey you will know exactly where the problem is and what repair is required — with no surprises.

Marc has been fantastic, I can't recommend him enough. He responded exceptionally quickly to our plea for help when our boiler stopped working. No hot water with kids = nightmare. He offered an appointment the following day and arrived when he said he would.
