10 We had a leak in a pipe under the concrete floor in the hall.
Posted 3 days ago
The leak was traced and repaired with minimum disruption. The engineer explained what he was going to do before the work commenced and kept us informed all the way through to completion. We were very pleased with the way he carried out his job.Verified reviewerJob location: IP22Response from Gate Leak Detection

Posted 6 days ago
Job location: CM3Central heating leak in a concrete floor. On contacting Gate Leak Detection a clear initial explanation of the service provided given with a break down of the costs, followed by a full quote by email. On the day, arrived early and got straight down to work, explaining as the work progressed and happy to answer any questions. Leak found, fixed and central heating heating system re-commissioned. Cleared up after. All in all a totally professional job. Couldn't have asked for a better serviceResponse from Gate Leak Detection

10 Simply the best - more than 5*

Following a really appalling experience with a different leak detection company, I contacted Greg via Checkatrade. Not only was he reassuring, he promised to find my leak no matter what. Richie came today - he was friendly, knowledgeable and extremely competent. He located the leak accurately; fixed it and cleaned up properly. A comprehensive report will help me to claim my leak allowance from my water company. I only paid upon completion. I thank both Greg and Richie sincerely for their outstanding service and for going over and above to locate and fix my leakVerified reviewerJob location: N21Response from Gate Leak Detection
Hi Pratima, I’m sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with another leak detection company. I’m not sure what happened there and we’re not here to speak badly about others. I’m really glad we were able to attend, find the issue and fix it on the same day. I know it was a stressful situation for you, so I’m pleased we could get it sorted. We also carried out pressure testing to ensure there were no further issues.
10 Central heating leak
Posted 23 February
We had a problem with our boiler losing pressure that hadn't been resolved despite using other leak detection companies. Greg was extremely helpful, explaining the process clearly, talking through the costs and reassuring us. Richie came out on Saturday and was an absolute legend!! He worked for 10 hours to diagnose the leak, which turned out to be very complicated due to our suspended floor. He did have to take up some floorboards to fix the leak which turned out to be a leaky pipe from an old radiator, Everything was made good and tidied up before he left. I highly recommend this company.Verified reviewerJob location: N20Response from Gate Leak Detection
Nicola, central heating leaks are difficult to find and the complication of a suspended floor adds to the complexity of the job. Richie went above and beyond and was determined to get this resolved for you. Thanks for a lovely review and I am glad the issue is resolved

From talking through the issue over the phone with Greg, his knowlege professionalism & reassurance was great. He explained in detail the process, price & service. Everything backed up by email & quotation. He gave such reassurance in a stressful time that everything would be OK & he could find & fix the problem & he did. The attention given to providing informative photos, videos & a report of his work, for insurance purpose, gave me full confidence in a stressful time. Greg travelled two hours to support us, a true testament to his word & trust in his service. Thank you so much GregVerified reviewerJob location: NR33Response from Gate Leak Detection
Thanks Angie, the attention to detail when sending reports to the insurance company is essential. It’s important they receive a high-standard report, which I’m pleased to see we were able to provide. I hope the process going forward isn’t too stressful for you. I’m glad we were able to resolve the leak for you.
10 Great service, did what that said they would in double quick time.

A couple of internal water leaks had caused some damage and were causing my boiler to lose pressure. Gate's excellent reviews interested me, as well as the fact they are leak specialists. Greg was very pleasant and assured me they could find and fix the leaks. He also fully explained their pricing structure. They were able to visit quickly. Richie was the plumber who attended. He was very pleasant, polite and professional. His test quickly found the leak in the bathroom, repaired it, and replaced a leaking radiator valve. All sorted, with a full report provided. Great service.Verified reviewerJob location: CR5Response from Gate Leak Detection
Jude, thank you for such a positive review. We always aim to do our best and, however stressful the situation may be, handle it professionally and resolve it as quickly as possible.
