Northampton's hidden-leak specialists
A hidden leak is stressful — a rising water bill, damp patches, dropping boiler pressure or mould with no obvious cause. Based in Northampton, we trace the source accurately, explain it in plain English, and get you to the right next step fast.
Whether it’s mains water, central heating or underfloor heating, we keep disruption to your property to a minimum.
Our leak detection services
Finding the leak is only part of the job. We can also provide reports, carry out trace and access where needed, and complete repair work to help bring the issue to a proper close.
If you suspect a hidden water leak but cannot see where it is coming from, we can investigate and help pinpoint the source. This may include concealed pipework, mains water supply issues, internal plumbing leaks, and other hidden water escapes within the property.
Central Heating &
Underfloor Heating Leak Detection
Heating system leaks are not always easy to spot. If your boiler pressure keeps dropping, parts of the floor feel unusually warm, or you suspect a hidden issue within the heating pipework, we use specialist methods to help narrow down the cause.

Why Northampton homeowners & businesses choose us
Your insurer's preferred standard
We are registered with the British Damage Management Association (BMDA) — the accreditation most major UK insurers look for on a trace and access report. Our reports are written in the format insurers expect, which means fewer rejections, faster claim approval, and less back-and-forth between you and your loss adjuster.
Non-invasive methods where possible
The goal is always to locate the problem as accurately as possible while keeping disruption to the property down where we can.
Domestic and commercial support
We work with homeowners, landlords, businesses and property managers dealing with hidden water leaks in a range of settings.
Clear pricing, no surprise charges
If your insurance is paying, we handle the paperwork with them. If you're paying privately, the price we quote is the price you pay. No mid-job "access fee" surprises — a complaint we hear repeatedly about other firms in the sector
Reports, trace and access, and repairs
Where required, we can provide reporting, carry out trace and access, and complete repairs so the issue can be managed from start to finish.
Common signs you may have a hidden leak
Spotted one of these? It’s worth investigating early, before the damage spreads:
- A sudden rise in your water bill
- Damp patches with no clear cause
- Mould, musty smells or recurring moisture
- Loss of pressure in your central heating system
- Warm spots on the floor
- Bubbling paint, staining or damaged finishes
- The sound of water when nothing is running
- Signs of water damage without a visible source
If something’s not right, let’s investigate early before the damage spreads further.

What is BMDA registration and why does it matter?
The British Damage Management Association sets the standard insurers look for when assessing trace and access reports. Reports from non-registered surveyors are routinely rejected — sometimes after the customer has already paid. Our BMDA registration means our reports are in the format your insurer expects
