Heating Leak Detection

If you frequently find yourself topping up your boiler pressure, it might be a sign of a leak in your central heating system or boiler.

The real concern often lies not in the leak itself, but in the damage and disruption caused by its repair, as well as the restoration costs to return your home to normal. If you suspect a leak, it’s best to have one of our engineers inspect it promptly. A leak can cause permanent damage to your home, boiler, and heating system if not addressed quickly. Accurate and timely heating leak detection is crucial to prevent further damage. We specialise in locating these leaks and providing detailed reports that you can use for your insurance claim.

  • Common leaks often occur in radiators, which can rapidly rust and cause blockages. Over time, this rust can lead to radiators rusting through, resulting in costly repairs. In cold weather, the situation can worsen with burst pipes, compounding the issue.
  • Using leak sealants is not a permanent fix, as they only mask the rust, potentially leading to further complications. Randomly lifting or digging up floors in an attempt to find a central heating leak can result in significant costs and damage, often amounting to thousands of pounds. However, this doesn’t have to be the case if you contact us first.
  • Most insurance companies cover the cost of trace and access for complicated heating leaks, meaning they’ll reimburse you for our call-out to locate the leak. We also work with property claims management companies across the UK, who handle insurance claims. If you need assistance with restoring your home, please ask an advisor for more information.
  • Rest assured, we are committed to ensuring you are satisfied with the service we provide.
