Understand the problem
A rising bill or moving meter is a reason to investigate water use, not a diagnosis on its own. Running toilets, appliances, shared connections and a hidden leak can all affect consumption. We help establish where specialist pipe investigation fits.
Separate normal use from unexplained loss
We review the readings and any water-supplier findings, then consider suitable isolation checks of the agreed private system. If the evidence suggests concealed loss, the relevant pipe route can be investigated with appropriate detection equipment.
What to prepare
Bring actual dated meter readings rather than only estimated bills, if you have them. Note occupancy changes, automatic watering and any fittings already found to be running.
Scope matters
Meter faults, billing disputes and supplier allowances are matters for your water company. Shared supplies can make a simple reading difficult to attribute to one property.
Detection through to the plumbing repair
For agreed residential work, the £1,345 package connects specialist investigation with the plumbing repair. It includes detection and tracing, necessary access or excavation, parts and materials, suitable post-repair testing and a Trace & Access report. A 12-month workmanship warranty applies to the repair.
The £100 booking deposit is deducted from the total, leaving £1,245. Applicable tax is included. Decorative and remedial reinstatement, including restoring floors, plaster, paving and other finishes, is excluded. Commercial work is quoted separately. Read the complete package scope before arranging a visit.
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.
