Immediately come to your property to sort the problem out. Very knowledgeable and efficient.
From the first enquiry I felt I was being listened to and that I was dealing with a very proffessional company. I was given a date and time for a fitter (Dylan) to attend who subsequently did a first class job. He was neat and tidy and put the old cooker outside for me ready for collection.
I cannot recomend this company enough. From start to finish I was kept informed along the way which is so important. Well done guys, your number is in my contact list as ill definitly call on you, if needed in the future. 🙂

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.

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.
