What should I say about T M Hughes.
Firstly it’s a great company that do a great job at a fair price. Terry the governor came round 1st to view the job (replacing the boiler and changing the system from a pressure system to a combi system) and I received the price of the work to be done the same night, and was very happy with his work ethics and the quote I received. The work was carried out within a week by one of his engineers called Alex, who knew his job and carried out the work to the highest of standards. I could not recommend this company highly enough.
Thanks for a great job.
Atb, Mr S Randall.

I’m extremely happy with the boiler service carried out by Kai. He was very professional, kind, and polite throughout the visit, and his work was completed to a very high standard. Everything was left clean and tidy, which I really appreciated. Communication on the day was excellent, so the whole process was smooth and stress-free from start to finish. A great experience overall — I would highly recommend Kai and the company to anyone looking for reliable and professional service. Thank you!

Terry and his team (with a special mention for Pavell) did a great job of renovating our central heating system. They replaced two of our twelve radiators, a circulating pump and a valve. They then power flushed the whole system. In thirty plus years the system has never worked as well as it does now! They turned up on time, did the job in line with the estimate and provided great follow up to make sure we were happy. We will definitely be using them again.

Welcome to TM Hughes & Son Gas Services Ltd. We provide Leak Detection, proudly serving the Brentwood area with reliable and efficient services.

  • Free no-obligation quotes
  • Leak detection undertaken by qualified and insured engineers

Do you have a hidden drip that you can’t see but know it’s there because of a higher water bill or a visible damp patch on your floors, walls or ceiling?  

Leak detection is finding where that leak is hiding using special tools and equipment. The procedure is swift, non-evasive and cost effective. 

Once the source of the leak has been established, a plan and price are put together to reach and repair the leak.

Don’t Ignore A Leak

If hidden leaks are left untreated, they can lead to a variety of problems, some of which can be quite serious:

Structural Damage

Over time, water leaks can weaken the structural integrity of a building. Continuous exposure to water can rot wood, rust steel, and deteriorate concrete. This can lead to costly repairs and, in extreme cases, dangerous situations, like weakened foundations and walls.

Mould & Mildew Growth

Moist environments are perfect breeding grounds for mould and mildew. These fungi can spread quickly in damp areas caused by leaks, leading to health issues, especially for those with allergies or respiratory problems. Removing mould can be difficult and expensive once it has taken hold.

Increased Water Bills

Even small leaks can significantly increase water bills over time. A small crack in a water pipe can waste a surprising amount of water.

Even small leaks can significantly increase water bills over time. A small crack in a water pipe can waste a surprising amount of water.

Damage To Personal Property

Leaks can cause damage to furniture, electronics, and personal belongings. Water damage can ruin carpets, flooring, and walls, leading to expensive replacements and repairs.

Addressing leaks promptly is essential to avoid these problems and maintain a safe, healthy, cost-effective living or working environment.

How Leak Detection Is Performed

We use various methods to detect leaks, like pressure testing, thermal imaging, and leak detector machines. 

Pressure testing involves sealing a system and monitoring pressure levels to identify leaks. 

Thermal imaging uses infrared cameras to detect temperature differences caused by leaks, allowing for non-invasive inspections of large areas. 

Leak detector machines, either acoustic or electronic, listen for the sounds of escaping water or gas, pinpointing the leak’s location with high sensitivity. 

Each method has its strengths: straightforward pressure testing, thermal imaging allowing for quick, damage-free scanning, and leak detectors providing precise localisation, which is useful for hidden leaks. 

Our professional engineers combine these techniques for quick and effective leak detection.
