Investigating leaks across London
Leak Hunters can discuss investigation work for London flats, houses, shared buildings and commercial premises. Please provide the borough, postcode and access arrangements when enquiring. Tell us what you have noticed and where the property is; we can discuss the appropriate investigation and availability for your address.

A leak affecting a Camden flat, a drainage concern in Southwark or rainwater entering a Croydon commercial roof needs an approach suited to access and building layout. 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. In a flat or mixed-use building, tracing a concealed leak may require coordination between the affected property and neighbouring or shared areas. 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 can help establish defects in accessible drains; shared drainage and access arrangements should be identified before a visit.
Flat roof leak detection
Water appearing beneath a flat roof does not always enter directly above the visible stain. A flat roof above several units can allow water to travel before the first ceiling stain appears, so the roof and affected rooms need to be considered together.
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. Knowing likely concealed pipe routes can help plan targeted access in a refurbishment or managed property. 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. In multi-unit buildings, the extent of moisture in connected rooms and finishes may need checking before restoration is planned.
Areas across London
Enquiries are welcome from Westminster, Camden, Islington, Hackney, Southwark, Lambeth, Croydon, Richmond, Hillingdon and other London boroughs. Send us the property postcode so we can confirm coverage and availability for your address.
The areas around the British Library in Camden and town centres across the listed boroughs are geographic references, not examples of completed work. 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.
