Leak Detection Pricing FAQs

How much does leak detection cost?

Leak detection typically starts from £485 for a standard inspection. Final pricing is always confirmed before attendance, ensuring full clarity before any work begins. Advanced testing methods are only used where necessary and are always agreed in advance.

How long does a leak detection inspection take?

We allow dedicated time for each inspection, typically between 4–6 hours depending on the property and complexity of the system. This ensures a thorough, methodical approach without rushing the process.

In many cases, leaks are located much sooner. Once the source is identified, we do not extend the visit unnecessarily — our focus is on accurate results, not time on site.

Each inspection is allocated dedicated time to ensure a thorough and accurate diagnosis.

Are most leaks found in a single visit?

Yes, most leak detection work is completed within a single visit using non-invasive methods. This helps minimise disruption and reduces unnecessary repair costs.

Is leak detection covered by insurance?

In many cases, leak detection is covered by home insurance policies. We provide clear written reports suitable for insurance claims, including findings, supporting data, and recommended next steps.

What does leak detection pricing include?

Pricing is based on a typical residential property with good access. A standard visit includes system assessment, thermal imaging, moisture investigation, and acoustic testing where required. Additional methods such as tracer gas or pipe tracing are only used if necessary.

What if I’m unsure which service I need?

If you’re unsure which method is required, simply book a standard inspection. We will assess the system on site and recommend the most appropriate approach to accurately locate the leak.
