Westminster’s mix of listed townhouses, mansion block flats and period conversions calls for particularly careful, non-invasive detection — original plasterwork, panelling and shared building fabric all make guesswork an expensive risk.
Basement and lower-ground leaks are common in these larger properties, often affecting original plasterwork or panelling. Thermal imaging and acoustic detection locate the source before any invasive work is considered.
Shared risers mean a leak affecting one flat's ceiling may originate in the flat above. Trace gas and acoustic detection help establish the true source, coordinated with building management where needed.
Older supply and waste pipework hidden within subdivided period properties in Bayswater can be difficult to trace by eye — non-invasive detection avoids unnecessary disruption to finished spaces.
Modern construction in this part of Westminster still hides pipework within stud walls and screeded floors — moisture mapping and thermal imaging remain the fastest way to locate a source.
Here are the leak detection scenarios we see most often across Westminster’s mix of listed townhouses, mansion block flats and period conversions.
Common across all property types — non-invasive detection to locate a hidden leak that isn't visibly showing but is driving up usage.
Frequent in Belgravia and Mayfair's listed townhouses — thermal imaging and acoustic methods identify the source without damaging period finishes.
Common in Marylebone and Pimlico mansion blocks — trace gas detection establishes whether the source is in your flat or the one above.
We provide detailed reports compatible with most insurers' requirements, documenting leak location and evidence for claims.
Common in Bayswater's converted flats — locating leaks in older pipework hidden within finished walls and floors without unnecessary disruption.
Once located, we carry out the repair directly — pipe replacement, joint repair or resealing, minimising disruption to floors and walls.
Costs vary with the detection method required and whether a repair or shared-building coordination follows. All prices are confirmed after a free assessment — the ranges below are indicative for typical Westminster properties.

“Damp patch appearing on original plasterwork in our Belgravia townhouse. Thermal imaging found the leak without needing to open anything up — repaired with minimal disruption to a room we’d only just had restored.”
“Ceiling stain in our flat in Marylebone — turned out to be a leak from the flat above, not ours. Trace gas detection proved it clearly, which made the conversation with our neighbour much easier.””Original high-level cistern in our Belgravia townhouse had a slow leak for ages. Turned out to be a simple valve replacement — quick, tidy, explained clearly.”
“Needed a proper report for an insurance claim after a leak in our converted flat in Bayswater. Exactly what the insurer needed, no back and forth.”
