Central heating heating leaks are often located underneath floors, behind walls or cavities.

Our plumbing professionals supply a same-day central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks come from the pool structure, liner or be present anywhere on the filtration system. The most likely cause of a swimming pool leak is split pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, other causes include defective filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure.

Water mains leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a signal of a leaking water main. The most frequent location of a water main leak is outside where the water supply pipe is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become worn. Our technicians conduct a water meter leak test to confirm if the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to discover the leak.
Underground water leaks stem from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by firstly determining which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection process is used to identify the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks frequently occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include worn pipework, poor installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our technicians pinpoint leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks happen in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, faulty construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team detect leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection approaches including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks span from slow water intrusion causing damp to a heavy flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress happens where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, improper construction, poor maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Locate the source of your roof leak by choosing our very experienced roof leak investigation technicians.
Shower and bathroom leaks originate from hidden pipework behind walls, underneath the bathtub, shower tray or sink. Causes of shower and bathroom leaks include worn out fixtures, fittings, washers and seals along with corrosion of pipes and loose plumbing fixtures. Our plumbing leak detection engineers discover leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non destructive leak detection equipment. Eliminate further water damage to your property!
Drainage leaks occur on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include broken pipes, broken seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drainage system is not pressurised so leak detection techniques are limited to CCTV inspections inside the drainpipe. Our drainage engineer delivers a detailed inspection to identify the cause of the leak and are usually able to carry out a repair on the same day.
