Water stain on the Nottingham ceiling? Unexplained damp patch? Higher water bill than usual? You've probably got a hidden leak. The trick is finding exactly where it is before you start pulling up floorboards.

We use thermal imaging cameras and acoustic listening equipment to trace leaks to their source, no guesswork, no unnecessary damage to your home. Once we've found it, we'll fix it there and then We cover all Nottingham areas including Beeston, City Centre, and West Bridgford.

Common leak sources include: pipes under floors, behind walls, in bathrooms and kitchens, central heating systems, and underground supply pipes. We've dealt with them all across Nottingham.

Got questions? Here's the quick answers.

How much does leak detection cost in Nottingham?
Leak detection in Nottingham costs £150-£250 for a full investigation using thermal imaging and acoustic equipment. If the leak is obvious (visible water damage, dripping pipe), we'll find it quickly. Hidden leaks under floors or in walls take longer to trace. Once found, repairing the leak is a separate cost depending on access and pipe location.
How long does it take to find a hidden leak?
Most leak detection jobs take within 2 hours. If it's under a floor or behind tiles, we use acoustic listening devices and thermal cameras to pinpoint it without ripping everything apart. Very elusive leaks can take 3-4 hours to trace. Once we've found it, we'll give you a fixed price for the repair before we start cutting into walls or floors, whether you're in City Centre, West Bridgford, or Beeston.
Can I find a leak myself?
You can try: turn off all taps and appliances, then check your water meter. If it's still ticking over, you've got a leak. Follow damp patches, listen for hissing or trickling, and check under sinks and behind toilets. But hidden leaks in walls or underground need specialist equipment, call us if you can't locate it We cover all Nottingham areas including NG1, NG2, and NG9 postcodes.
My water bill has doubled, could I have a leak?
Probably yes. A toilet that constantly runs can waste 200+ litres per day. A dripping tap wastes 15 litres. A hidden leak under a floor can waste thousands of litres before you even notice it. Check your meter reading against your bill, then call us for a leak detection survey. Finding and fixing it now will save you hundreds in wasted water charges We cover all Nottingham areas including NG1, NG2, and NG9 postcodes.
What causes leaks in older Nottingham properties?
Older properties in Nottingham often have copper or lead pipework that corrodes over time. Clay soil movement in areas like West Bridgford and Beeston can stress pipes under floors and cause splits. Limescale build-up in hard water areas weakens joints. Victorian houses with original pipework are especially prone, we see leaks in 50+ year old copper pipes almost weekly.
Will you have to rip up my floor to find the leak?
Not until we've located it. We use thermal cameras and acoustic sensors to pinpoint the leak without lifting a single floorboard. Once we know exactly where it is, we'll lift the smallest section of floor needed to access the pipe. We're not in the business of unnecessary demolition, we'll keep damage to a minimum We cover all Nottingham areas including NG1, NG2, and NG9 postcodes.
Can you detect leaks in central heating pipes?
Yes. Heating pipe leaks are tricky because they're only under pressure when the heating is on. We'll pressurise the system, then use thermal imaging to spot temperature drops where water is escaping. Most leaks are at joints under floors or behind radiators. Once found, we'll drain down, fix the leak, and refill the system We cover all Nottingham areas including NG1, NG2, and NG9 postcodes.
Is leak detection covered by insurance?
Most home insurance policies include trace and access cover, which pays for finding and accessing the leak (not always the repair itself). Check your policy or call your insurer. We can provide a detailed report and invoice for your claim. Even without insurance, finding and fixing a leak quickly saves you more than the detection cost in avoided water bills and damage We cover all Nottingham areas including NG1, NG2, and NG9 postcodes.
