An unexpected meter reading in Reading, repeated drain issues in Wokingham or a ceiling stain beneath a Newbury extension all merit a targeted investigation. We select investigative methods to suit the symptoms and property, then explain the findings and practical next steps.

Water leak detection and trace and access

For hidden leaks in supply pipes, heating systems, floors or walls, we can use moisture readings, acoustic equipment, thermal imaging and tracer gas as appropriate. Tests can help distinguish a hidden pipe escape from water entering through the building fabric before access work is planned. Investigations can be trace only or include access where suitable. Explore our leak detection service.

Drain surveying

Persistent drainage problems, suspected defects or an unclear drain route may call for a survey. A survey may help explain recurring drainage symptoms in a house, managed block or business premises.

Flat roof leak detection

Water appearing beneath a flat roof does not always enter directly above the visible stain. Flat roof details and the affected interior are assessed together to narrow down possible rainwater entry points.

Pipework mapping

When the route of concealed water or heating pipework is uncertain, mapping can help identify likely pipe runs before drilling or opening a surface. For renovations or unexplained pipe losses, identifying likely concealed routes can guide the next stage of work. The achievable detail depends on the pipe material and construction.

Drying and restoration

After the source of a leak is addressed, affected materials may still hold moisture. A measured assessment of wet materials can inform drying and later reinstatement after the source is resolved.

Areas across Berkshire

Enquiries are welcome from Reading, Wokingham, Bracknell, Newbury, Maidenhead, Windsor, Slough, Ascot and surrounding areas. Send us the property postcode so we can confirm coverage and availability for your address.

Reading town centre, the areas around Windsor and Maidenhead, and the commercial centres of Bracknell and Slough are location references for enquiries. These references do not imply work for or endorsement by any named venue or organisation.

Tell us about the problem

When you get in touch, include the property postcode, where the water or damp is visible, when it first appeared and whether a water or heating system is losing pressure. Photographs and details of any earlier tests can help us recommend the next step. If you plan to use trace and access insurance cover, check your policy terms with your insurer before work begins.
