Understand the problem
Shared plumbing introduces questions about control, access and responsibility before detection begins. A loss recorded on one meter may involve pipework serving several occupiers. Arranging the right permissions is part of planning an effective visit.
Understand who controls each section
We consider available drawings, stop valves and previous checks. Any proposed isolation must be agreed with the people affected. Appropriate tests can then help narrow the suspected section and establish the next repair decision.
What to prepare
Identify a contact who can arrange access and authorise work. Include any landlord, managing agent or neighbour whose supply may be interrupted.
Scope matters
Shared and communal systems may require a separate quotation. The residential package is not automatically applicable to an entire block or shared network.
Agree a quotation for the system
Share the address, property use, available drawings and the people who can authorise work. We establish a suitable instruction before confirming pricing or appointments. The £1,345 package is for agreed residential work and is not a commercial or whole-network rate.
Choosing the right method
One method that may be considered is pressure testing & isolation. Help establish which part of a plumbing system needs closer attention. The engineer selects the approach for the actual installation; no specific instrument is promised for every visit.
