Water Leak Detection and Leak Detection London Services
Our leak detection London service finds hidden water leaks in homes, flats and commercial buildings using thermal imaging, acoustic listening, tracer gas and pressure testing. Domestic visits are £120+VAT for the first hour, and we only open up the floor or wall where the leak has been pinpointed.
Water leak detection is worth booking when you see a damp patch with no obvious source, your water meter keeps turning with every tap off, your boiler keeps losing pressure, or a downstairs neighbour reports water coming through the ceiling. Finding the exact point first saves days of exploratory work and the cost of repairing unnecessary damage.
Our leak detection services cover mains supply pipes under gardens and driveways, central heating and underfloor heating pipework, concealed pipes under screed, shower and bath wastes, and leaking cylinders and tanks. After locating the leak we give you a written report with photographs, which insurers usually ask for under trace and access cover.
If a leak has caused a blockage or overflow, our drainage unblocking engineers can follow up. For a burst pipe out of hours call our 24 hour plumber line. Outside London we cover Surrey through our plumber in Guildford, and in south-west London through our plumber in Fulham.
Leak Detection Questions
How much does leak detection cost in London?
Domestic leak detection is £120+VAT for the first hour, then £60+VAT per half hour. Commercial work is £150+VAT for the first hour. Repairs and parts are quoted before work starts.
What is water leak detection?
Water leak detection uses thermal imaging, acoustic listening, tracer gas and pressure testing to find a hidden leak in pipes, heating or mains without opening up floors and walls blindly.
Do you offer leak detection services for insurance claims?
Yes. We provide a written report with photographs and the leak location, which you can pass to your insurer under trace and access cover.
Can you find a leak under a concrete floor?
Usually, yes. Acoustic and tracer gas equipment can pinpoint leaks in pipes buried under screed or concrete so only a small section needs to be opened.

Water Leak Detection in London: Full Scope of Engineering Works
Our water leak detection service covers the complete lifecycle of the systems we look after in London — from initial survey and design through to installation, commissioning, statutory testing, planned maintenance and reactive emergency repair. Every visit starts with a documented condition assessment so you know exactly what is failing, what it will cost to put right, and what can safely be deferred to a future planned visit.
We work in occupied residential blocks, offices, restaurants, schools, care homes, warehouses and industrial units, so our engineers are used to working around tenants, service users and trading hours. Where a shutdown is unavoidable we agree the window in advance, isolate safely, and restore service the same day wherever parts availability allows.
- Full site survey, fault diagnosis and written recommendations before any water leak detection work begins
- Installation, replacement, commissioning and handover with manufacturer-compliant test data
- Planned preventative maintenance (PPM) visits priced per visit following survey
