What we investigate
The affected pipework must first be assessed for safe isolation and preparation. A suitable tracer mixture is introduced under controlled conditions, and detection equipment is used around the suspected pipe route. The readings are interpreted alongside the building layout and other test results to help decide where further investigation or access is justified.
Signs to tell us about
- A quiet concealed leak
- A suspected leak beneath a solid floor
- Limited acoustic evidence
- Pressure loss in an isolated water circuit
Getting ready for the visit
Make isolation points accessible and tell us if interruption affects other residents or equipment. Shared supplies and complex circuits need to be understood before the method is selected.
What to expect
Tracer readings can be influenced by how gas moves through the surrounding materials. A reading is evidence to interpret, not an automatic instruction to excavate.
Detection, access and repair
For residential work, the £1,250 package includes investigation, suitable detection methods, access or excavation, the plumbing repair, parts and materials, testing and a report. The repair carries a 12-month workmanship warranty.
We serve homes and businesses across the listed service area. Check the coverage directory and provide the exact postcode before booking. Decorative and remedial reinstatement, including flooring, tiling, plastering and decorating, is separate.
Common questions
What should I prepare for tracer gas leak detection?
Make isolation points accessible and tell us if interruption affects other residents or equipment. Shared supplies and complex circuits need to be understood before the method is selected.
What happens after a leak is found?
We explain the access needed, carry out the agreed plumbing repair and test the affected pipework. The residential package includes parts, materials and a report. Reinstatement of finishes is excluded.
