What to expect from hiring a water leak detector in Greater Manchester
Water leak detection isn’t a guessing game. It’s a skilled service using specialist tools to trace hidden leaks accurately and quickly, and it’s not just for dramatic burst pipes. Even small leaks can quietly rack up damage (and bills) over time.

- Hidden pipe leaks (under floors or behind walls)

Average cost of water leak detection in Greater Manchester

Infrared camera: £150 - £1,000
Acoustic devices: £150 - £1,000
Tracer gas: £250 - £2,000

How long it takes
Most tests take around half a day, but this varies. If your leak’s hard to access (e.g. under concrete), it might take longer.
What's usually included
- Visual inspection
- Use of detection equipment
- Written report (if requested)
- Quote for repair or next steps
Qualifications to look for
- Insurance (PLI) is a must
- Ask what tools they use (not all leak detection services offer the same tech)
- Experience with your property type is a bonus (e.g. old vs new builds)
Water leak detection in Greater Manchester: Homeowners vs renters
Homeowners
You’re usually responsible for finding and fixing leaks on your property, especially if it’s an internal issue. Keep hold of any documentation if you’re claiming through insurance. Your water supplier is only responsible if the leak is on the mains pipe before it reaches your property boundary.
Renters
Report the leak to your landlord or letting agent straight away. It’s their responsibility to sort the repairs, but flagging signs early helps prevent bigger damage (and hassle). If you need urgent help, always check if your tenancy agreement allows you to arrange your own emergency trades.

- If you’re dealing with a potential emergency:
