A few years ago I needed a replacement boiler, TM Hughes sourced it, supplied and fitted it efficiently and tidily. My late husband was ill with dementia at the time, but the plumbing and heating engineer, Pawel, took everything in his stride and was kind, friendly and respectful with him.
After installation he checked each radiator carefully. He was polite and his work was clean and tidy. Since then I have continued to use TM Hughes and Pawel has done the annual boiler service each year. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Terry, the owner, if I had a plumbing or heating problem as I know that I can rely on Pawel to do what's best. He takes a genuine interest in his customers and won't advise you to do something that is unnecessary.
Thank you Terry for a company of which you should be proud.

Finding Hidden Leaks Before They Cause More Damage
A leak is not always easy to spot. Some leaks appear as damp patches on walls or ceilings. Others sit under floors, behind tiles, inside a boxing ring, or within a heating system. You may notice a musty smell, peeling paint, wet flooring, low boiler pressure, or a water bill that has gone up.
Our leak detection service helps trace the source before further damage occurs. TM Hughes & Son Gas Services Ltd works for homeowners, landlords and business owners who need a clear answer and a practical repair plan.
Signs You May Have A Leak
Small leaks cause problems over time. Water can stain plaster, lift flooring, damage ceilings and affect timber. If the leak is near electrics, appliances, cupboards or furniture, the damage can spread.
Common signs include damp marks, mould growth, bubbling paint, a drop in heating pressure, water sounds when taps are off, or cold spots on floors and walls. You may also see damage around baths, showers, sinks, toilets, radiators or pipe boxing.
If you are unsure where the water is coming from, our leak detection will narrow down the source.
How Our Leak Detection Service Works
The first step is to look at the signs you have found and ask when the issue started. The engineer may check pipe routes, heating pressure, stop taps, visible fittings and areas where water has spread.
The next step is testing. This may include pressure testing a water or heating system to see if it’s losing pressure. It may also include thermal imaging to detect heat changes behind surfaces, or acoustic equipment to listen for water escaping from pipework.
The right method depends on the property and the type of leak. Our aim is to find the source with little mess and disruption.
Leak Detection Methods We Use
Pressure testing confirms if a pipe system is holding pressure or losing it. This is useful for heating pipework and hidden water pipes.
Thermal imaging shows temperature changes caused by water behind walls, floors, or ceilings. It’s useful where pipes are covered or hard to reach.
Acoustic leak detection uses listening equipment to trace the sound of escaping water. This helps when the leak is hidden beneath flooring or behind fixed surfaces.
These methods help guide the repair, so floors, walls and ceilings are not opened without reason.
