Leak Detection in Petersham
Found without ripping up your floor first.
Covering the Petersham area, near Richmond and Petersham Meadows.
Leak Detection for Petersham homes
A damp patch, a boiler that keeps losing pressure, or a water bill that's crept up for no obvious reason — all classic signs of a hidden leak. We use listening equipment and thermal imaging to trace it to within a few centimetres before anyone lifts a floorboard, which saves you money and mess compared to searching by guesswork.
Most home insurance policies include "trace and access" cover, meaning the cost of finding the leak (even if not fixing it) is often covered. We'll give you a written report suitable for a claim either way.
A smaller, largely residential area with a good number of period properties — we cover Petersham as part of our wider Richmond coverage, with the same careful approach to period housing.

Frequently asked
Your questions, answered
How do I know if I've got a hidden leak?
Try the 30-minute meter test: turn off every tap and appliance, read your water meter, wait 30 minutes without using any water, then read it again. Any movement means water is escaping somewhere on your side of the stopcock.
Will you need to damage my walls or floors to find it?
Rarely. Acoustic and thermal equipment usually pinpoints a leak without any exploratory digging.
Is leak detection covered by my home insurance?
Many policies include trace and access cover, which pays for finding the leak. Cover varies, so check your policy. We provide a written report you can send to your insurer.
Why does my boiler keep losing pressure?
If you are topping it up more than once or twice a year, water is leaving the heating system somewhere: a radiator valve, a joint under the floor, or a fault inside the boiler such as the pressure relief valve. We test to find out which before anything is replaced.
Which parts of Petersham do you cover for leak detection?
We cover the whole of Petersham and the surrounding TW10 postcodes. Local engineers means short response times across every street.
