Phil come out and replaced the shower waste very happy with the service and workmanshipVerified reviewerJob location: DA510 Water Leak Detection & Hidden Stop Tap
Posted 10 April
Phil arrived exactly on time and instantly knew where to get started. I live in quite an older house so there are usually a lot of hiccups when it comes to work being done. Phil manage to locate a hidden stop tap behind a wall and cap it off. We have now planned a re route from our water meter through the house to resolve the leak. I felt well informed throughout the process. Phil tidied away all of his equipment and cleaned up all of the mess from the wall. Would recommend!Verified reviewerJob location: CT310 Access works under the floor to fix a leak

Non-evasive leak detection:

Loft tanks constantly running?
Combination boiler losing in pressure?
Is your plumber / builder scratching their heads and you're worried that everything must be excavated or taken out to locate the cause?
Then we can help by locating the cause of the above issues without causing any damage until the source of the damage / leak is exposed and ready for repair.
Nine times out of ten we only need to remove 1-2 floor tiles or floorboards to access a leak under a floor and make a repair, which saves a lot of disruption and excess damage / mess.
Using the highest tech equipment of thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, endoscopes, ground micro phones, tracer gases and dyes we can locate your leak or the source of damage, even if an issue with rainwater ingression or rising damp is apparent. This can be identified by taking plaster / concrete samples to carry out a salts test.
We offer a full service of locating the leak, making access / excavating of the leak, repairing the leak and completing a fully detailed insurance company recognized report. The report covers all damage caused by the leak, how we found the leak, and the access work which was required to repair the leak. The report also includes full advisories of works required to remedy the damage and the dampness still present if any.
