Fast, Non-Destructive Water Leak Detection for Radlett Homes

A water leak isn’t always obvious and may present itself as a rising water bill, a damp patch that won’t dry out, or a shower slowly losing pressure.

Rather than break into walls or floors to search, we bring thermal imaging, acoustic listening equipment, and tracer gas to pinpoint the source first. Once we know exactly where the leak is, we’ll explain what we’ve found, advise on repair, and put together insurance documentation if you need it.

Precision without the mess

Drilling and digging only happen once we know exactly where to look. Most leaks are traced without opening a single wall.

Straightforward pricing

£85 +VAT covers the first hour, then £42.50 +VAT per half hour. No call-out fee, no parking or surprise charges.

Insurance-ready documentation

A full technical report follows every job, recognised by major insurers for trace and access claims.

We follow the same disciplined process on every job, working from broad checks down to a precise fix on the leak.

Nothing gets opened up until we’re certain we’ve found it. Here’s the kit we use to get there.

Water Leak Detection in Radlett

Pressure Test

A boiler or heating system that keeps losing pressure, with no obvious fault, is often the first sign something's wrong. We isolate the circuit, bring it up to a controlled test pressure, and narrow the fault area down, usually inside an hour.

Thermal imaging water leak detection

Thermal Imaging

A leak moving behind a wall or under a floor shifts the surface temperature just enough for an infrared camera to catch it. Nothing gets lifted or opened. The camera does the first pass so we don't have to.

Moisture Readings

Recurring stains, a soft patch underfoot, a ceiling mark with no roof leak in sight: moisture readings show us how far the water's travelled and which direction to search.

Acoustic Tracing

Water escaping under pressure gives off a distinct sound. Ground mics and pipe-correlation kit can detect it even underground or sealed behind finished walls.

Gas Trace

When nothing else reveals the leak, we introduce a safe hydrogen-nitrogen mix into the system and track it with sensitive detectors until we reach the exact escape point. It's the most precise method we have, kept for the toughest cases.

Water Leak Detection FAQs

Answers to the questions Radlett customers ask most. Can't find yours? Call 020 8108 0400 and we'll walk you through it.

How much does leak detection cost?

Pricing is hourly: £85 +VAT for the first hour, then £42.50 +VAT for each half hour after. You’ll always get a confirmed price before work starts, and there’s no call-out fee. Parking, ULEZ, congestion charge, and fuel surcharges never appear on the bill.

 

Most surveys are done within one to two hours, depending on the property and how the pipework’s laid out. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when you book, not once we’ve arrived.

 

 

Rarely. Thermal imaging, acoustic tracing, moisture mapping, and tracer gas usually pinpoint the leak before any opening-up is even discussed. Most jobs are completed without disturbing a single tile.

 

 

Yes, on every job. You’ll receive a full digital report covering the leak’s location, the detection methods used, and our conclusions, in the format major UK insurers expect for trace and access claims.

 

 

Both options are available. We operate a 24/7 emergency line, 365 days a year, with no out-of-hours surcharge. For non-urgent leaks, we’re happy to schedule around you.

 

 

Every engineer holds NVQ Level 2/3 qualifications, Gas Safe registration, and NICEIC approval where the work requires it. PrimeFix is CHAS accredited and SafeContractor approved.
