Plumbing
Leak detection and repair, done honestly.
Falling boiler pressure, damp patches, a meter that won't stop turning? We use a thermal imaging camera to trace leaks where we can - and when a job needs more specialist kit, we'll point you to a trusted leak detection company.
Find the leak first - then fix it once.
The expensive part of a leak isn't the repair, it's the floor that gets dug up to find it. We use a thermal imaging camera to locate leaks where we can - particularly on heating and hot water pipework - so the repair can be targeted and tidy. Thermal imaging can be tricky to pinpoint a leak with, so where it can't be traced with our kit, we'll be honest about it and advise you on leak detection companies our previous customers have rated highly, rather than guess and start digging.

What we cover
Where we can help with leaks.
Thermal imaging works well on accessible heating and hot water pipework. For leaks that need tracer gas, acoustic detection or other specialist kit, we'll advise you on a trusted leak detection company.
Central heating leaks
Lost pressure on a boiler, damp under floors or stains on ceilings - we use thermal imaging to trace the leaking joint or pipe where we can. If the trace needs specialist kit, we'll advise you on a trusted leak detection company.
- Thermal imaging of pipe runs
- Pressure-test isolation
- Targeted repair where the leak is found
- Referral to a trusted leak detection company where needed
Underfloor heating leaks
Thermal imaging can help identify the affected circuit on some underfloor heating systems. Where the floor build-up makes it difficult to pinpoint, we'll advise you on a specialist leak detection company.
- Thermal imaging of UFH circuits
- Circuit-by-circuit isolation
- Single-spot repair where possible
- Referral to a trusted leak detection company where needed
Hot and cold mains leaks
Meter still turning with everything off? We isolate sections and use thermal imaging where the pipework is accessible. For buried or inaccessible runs, we'll advise you on a specialist rather than start excavating blindly.
- Stopcock and mains testing
- Thermal imaging on accessible pipework
- Mains pipe repair or rerun
- Referral to a trusted leak detection company where needed
Hidden ceiling and wall leaks
Brown patches on ceilings or damp walls where the source isn't obvious. We attend and assess what we can see. If the leak can't be traced with thermal imaging, we'll advise you on a leak detection company our customers have rated highly - rather than guess and start digging.
- On-site assessment of visible signs
- Thermal imaging where useful
- Referral to a trusted leak detection company where needed
- Repair and make-good once the source is found

FAQs
Common questions
How accurate is leak detection?
With thermal imaging on accessible heating and hot water pipework, we can often get close to the source - but it can be tricky to pinpoint a leak precisely. Where accuracy matters and the leak is buried or concealed, we'll advise you on a specialist leak detection company.
Why does my boiler keep losing pressure?
Common causes are an internal expansion vessel issue, a passing PRV, or a genuine leak on the heating circuit. We test for each before recommending work.
What happens if you can't trace the leak?
We'll always be honest about what we can and can't find. Our thermal imaging camera works on some heating and hot water pipes but can be tricky to pinpoint a leak. If a trace needs tracer gas, acoustic detection or other specialist kit we don't carry, we'll advise you on leak detection companies we've passed customers to before - ones our customers have rated highly once their leak was sorted. We can then return to carry out the repair once the source is pinpointed.
Can you help with an insurance claim?
Yes - where we can trace the leak we provide a written report with the location, cause and recommended repair, which insurers and loss adjusters typically need.
Do you repair the floor afterwards?
We make repairs to a tidy plumbing finish. For floor reinstatement (tiles, screed, hardwood) we'll coordinate with a trusted finishing trade or your preferred contractor.
