How I can help
About leak detection and repair
Hidden water leaks can cause significant structural damage and lead to expensive water bills if left unaddressed. I specialise in identifying the source of leaks that are not immediately obvious, such as those behind walls, under floorboards, or in ceilings. Residents in Farnham and Surrey often call me when they notice damp patches, peeling wallpaper, or the sound of water running when no taps are in use. My goal is to find the leak quickly and with as little disruption to your home as possible.
My approach to leak detection combines years of experience with a methodical investigation of your plumbing system. I start by checking the most common failure points, such as joints, valves, and appliance connections. I also use pressure testing to confirm if there is a loss of integrity in the pipework. Once the leak is located, I explain the best course of action for a permanent repair. I aim to provide a long-lasting solution rather than a quick fix that might fail again in the future.
Since 2014, I have handled hundreds of leak-related jobs, ranging from simple dripping taps to complex pipework failures. As a sole trader, I take personal responsibility for every repair, ensuring that the work is carried out to the highest professional standards. I understand the urgency of stopping a leak, so I make myself available for prompt visits throughout North Hampshire. My workmanship is guaranteed, giving you the confidence that your home is once again watertight and safe from the effects of escaping water.

Frequently asked questions
Leak Detection and Repair questions
The cost of leak detection depends on how accessible the pipework is and the time required to locate the source. A simple, visible leak is straightforward to price, while hidden leaks may require more investigative work. I provide a clear explanation of my hourly rates or fixed quotes once I have assessed the situation, ensuring you stay informed about the costs involved.
Most leaks can be identified within an hour or two of my arrival. However, more complex issues involving multiple floors or hidden pipes may take longer to trace accurately.
