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.
Is the specialist survey really free?+
Yes — completely. We offer every homeowner and property manager across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire a complimentary specialist survey at no charge. This includes an on-site inspection, written findings, a clear scope of any recommended work, and an honest referral if the problem falls outside what we do. You pay nothing for the survey. You only pay if you commission the remedial work, and you are under no obligation to do so. The reason we do this is straightforward: we believe in diagnosing the problem before recommending a treatment. A proper inspection takes time, and we'd rather invest that time up front than quote a solution before we've understood the cause.
Not sure if this is your problem?
That's exactly what the survey is for. Book your complimentary specialist survey and one of our experienced team will identify the cause on-site, consider the alternatives, and give you written findings — at no charge and with no obligation.
