Leak detection
Plumbing leak repairs
In-house plumbing leak repairs once a leak has been traced, followed by drying and reinstatement of damaged finishes.
Why diagnosis matters
Treat the cause, then repair the damage
Once a leak is located, it needs a proper repair — not just a patch over the damage. We repair leaking supply, heating and waste pipework, then coordinate drying and reinstatement of the damaged plaster and decoration.

Common questions
About plumbing leak repairs
Do you repair the damage as well as the leak?+
Yes. As a plastering and damp specialist we can dry out and reinstate the damaged plaster and decoration once the leak is repaired, so it is handled by one team.
Can you repair a leak you did not find?+
Yes, provided the source is identified. If it has not been located yet we can carry out leak detection first, then repair.
Do you do gas or boiler work?+
No. Gas and boiler works require a Gas Safe registered engineer, so we refer those. We handle water leak repairs and the resulting damage.
