Our plumbing technicians offer a same day central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks stem from the pool structure, liner or be present anywhere on the filtration system. The single most frequent cause of a swimming pool leak is broken pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, other causes include loose filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure.

Water mains leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a indicator of a leaking water main. The most likely location of a water main leak is outside where the water main is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become defective. Our technicians perform a water meter leak test to establish whether the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to discover the leak.
Underground water leaks originate from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We locate underground water leaks by first identifying which pipes are under the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection system is used to pinpoint the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks frequently arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include damaged pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our experts identify leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks appear in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, inadequate construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team discover leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a selection of leak detection approaches including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from slow water intrusion causing damp to a significant flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress appears where there are damaged tiles, damaged flashing, deteriorating mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, incorrect construction, lacking maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older.

Drainage Leaks appear on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include cracked pipes, broken seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement.
