Burst pipe? Boiler down? No hot water? Engineers on call right now —
We locate hidden leaks across Barking and Dagenham using thermal imaging, acoustic listening and tracer gas — from original solid floors in Becontree estate terraces to sealed riser cupboards in Barking Riverside’s newer flats. Non-invasive detection, pinpoint accuracy, fixed price before any work begins.
Hidden leaks rarely announce themselves with a puddle. Across the borough’s mix of 1930s estate terraces and newer flats, these are the warning signs our engineers are called out to investigate most often.
A steady increase in your water bill with no change in usage is one of the clearest signs of a hidden leak — often in an underground supply pipe or beneath a solid floor.
Damp patches on walls or ceilings, discoloured plaster, or peeling paint in Becontree and Chadwell Heath’s older terraces often trace back to a slow leak in wall-chased or floor pipework rather than rising damp.
A warm spot on an otherwise cool floor usually points to a leaking underfloor heating pipe or hot water supply pipe running beneath a solid floor — common in the borough’s 1930s estate housing.
A persistent trickling or hissing sound when no fixture is in use is a strong indicator of a pressurised pipe leak, often audible near a riser cupboard in flats around Barking and Barking Riverside.
Barking and Dagenham leak detection context: The Becontree estate’s terraced houses, built to a consistent design across the 1920s and 30s, typically have supply pipes running beneath solid concrete floors laid decades ago. Non-invasive detection avoids the need to break up flooring speculatively, locating the leak to within a small area before any opening-up work begins.
A methodical, non-invasive process to find the exact source of a leak before any repair work begins — minimising disruption to your property.
We review the symptoms — damp patches, bill spikes, pressure loss — and identify likely pipe runs based on your property's age and layout.
A thermal camera detects temperature differences in walls and floors caused by escaping water, narrowing the search area without any opening-up work.
Acoustic listening equipment and, where needed, tracer gas pinpoint the exact leak location, even behind walls or under solid floors.
Once located, we confirm the finding with you and provide a fixed price for the repair before any further work begins.
Cost depends on the detection methods required and the complexity of your property’s pipework. All prices are confirmed before we attend — no call-out charge.

All repair and replacement work carries our 12-month workmanship guarantee, issued in writing before we leave your property.
Water bill had crept up for months with no obvious cause. Thermal imaging found a leak under our Becontree kitchen floor within an hour — only had to lift a small section of tiling to fix it.
Wandsworth · Like-for-like combi replacement
Damp patch appeared on the lounge wall in our Dagenham terrace. The engineer used acoustic detection and traced it to a pinhole leak in a hidden pipe run — repaired the same day.
Hackney · System-to-combi conversion
Could hear water running somewhere in the flat but couldn’t find it. Tracer gas pinpointed a leak in the riser cupboard pipework. Minimal disruption and explained every step clearly.
Islington · System boiler installation
Yes. We cover the entire borough including Barking, Barking Riverside, Dagenham, Becontree, Chadwell Heath and Rush Green — postcodes IG11, RM8, RM9 and RM10. Our engineers are based locally across East London for fast response.
An initial assessment starts from £80. A thermal imaging survey starts from £170, and acoustic or tracer gas detection for underground or in-wall leaks starts from £270. A full combined survey starts from £360. All prices are confirmed before work begins.
Not usually. Thermal imaging, acoustic listening and tracer gas are all non-invasive and locate a leak to within a small area first. Only once the leak is pinpointed do we open up flooring or plaster, and only in the confirmed location — avoiding speculative digging.
No. There is no call-out charge, no zone surcharge and no area uplift for any postcode within the borough. Our fixed prices are identical whether you're in Barking or Dagenham.
Common signs include an unexplained rise in your water bill, damp patches or staining on walls and ceilings, a warm patch on an otherwise cool floor, or the sound of running water when no fixture is in use. Any of these are worth investigating with a leak detection survey.
