Leak Detection for Every Type of Bromley Property

As London’s largest borough by area, Bromley spans everything from the regenerated town centre with new-build flats, to the large gardens of Chislehurst and Petts Wood, and the older Victorian terraces of Beckenham and Penge. Each property type hides leaks differently.

Town centre & new developments — Bromley

Pipework concealed behind sealed risers and under screeded floors in new flats can leak invisibly for months. Acoustic detection and thermal imaging locate the source without lifting flooring speculatively.

 

Large gardens — Chislehurst & Petts Wood

Long underground supply pipe runs to outbuildings, garages and garden taps are prone to slow leaks that show up as unexplained bill increases or damp patches on the lawn. Ground microphone and tracer gas pinpoint the exact spot.

Victorian terraces — Beckenham & Penge

Original lead and early copper pipework beneath these terraces corrodes with age. Thermal imaging identifies damp pipe runs behind period plaster without opening walls unnecessarily.

Family semis — Orpington & West Wickham

Under-floor central heating pipework and multiple bathrooms mean hidden leaks can be harder to trace to source. Combined moisture mapping and pressure testing narrow it down fast.

Our water bill in Petts Wood had crept up for months with no obvious cause. Ground microphone found a leak in the supply pipe running out to the garage within an hour, and it was fixed the same day.

Damp patch appeared on the ceiling of our Beckenham terrace with no obvious source upstairs. Thermal camera showed exactly where the pipe was running warm, saved us from opening up half the bathroom.

Needed a proper leak report for our insurer after water came through the flat below in Bromley town centre. Wrote up a clear report the same week that the insurance company accepted without questions.
