Phone call with Charlie
He asks what you have seen, when it started and whether the meter moves with everything off. Testing the meter before he arrives saves time.

Wendover has brick and flint cottages along the High Street, Victorian houses near the station, and 1960s estates off the Aylesbury road, with Halton and the canal arm on its edge. The older houses have lead or iron supply pipes and plumbing added in layers.
We cover Aston Clinton and Weston Turville next to Wendover regularly, so this is familiar ground. Most Wendover visits are booked within 24 to 48 hours. Water leak detection in Aylesbury goes on the same trip.

We close the stop tap and pressure test the heating separately. One of them shows the loss, and from then on we are tracing one pipe run rather than searching the whole house.

Thermal camera, ground microphone and tracer gas take us to the spot. We mark it, explain the repair and send a written report with photographs for your insurer or plumber.
The camera shows the heat of pipes through flint, brick and plaster, and the cold spread where water has soaked in. On a cottage with solid floors it says where to look before anything is lifted.
A supply pipe under a path or front garden leaks with a hiss the ground microphone picks up. We walk the run from the Thames Water stop tap and mark the loudest point for the repair.
Heating and underfloor loops are drained, filled with a safe hydrogen and nitrogen mix and followed with a sensor. The gas surfaces above the split through screed or tile.
In a brick and flint cottage on the High Street the owner noticed the bottom of a wall was damp and the water meter never stopped. We listened along the old lead supply pipe with the ground microphone and found the leak under the front step. On one of the 1960s estates off the Aylesbury road a boiler lost pressure overnight. A pressure test confirmed it, the thermal camera showed a warm strip across the lounge floor, and tracer gas placed a pinholed copper pipe under the screed. A few minutes away at Aston Clinton a new house had an underfloor heating loop weeping at a manifold joint, found with gas and opened at one tile.
From Wendover we cover Halton, Weston Turville, Aston Clinton, Stoke Mandeville, Great Kimble and Ellesborough, and we continue to Aylesbury and Great Missenden on the same trip. Leak detection Great Missenden fits that run.
Trace and access cover pays for finding a leak and for repairing whatever was opened to reach it. Our report gives your insurer the leak location, the method used, thermal images, photographs and a note of any surfaces disturbed. It is written so a loss adjuster can approve the claim from the desk.
Yes. We cover Aston Clinton and Weston Turville, a few minutes from Wendover, and Berryfields and Watermead by Aylesbury. The usual mix there is supply pipe leaks on older houses and heating leaks under solid floors.
Yes. With the stop tap inside shut, we watch the meter. If it still turns, the pipe between the boundary and the house is losing water, and we trace it with the ground microphone. If it stops, the supply pipe is sound.
Yes. The thermal camera reads temperature at the surface, so a warm heating pipe or a cold wet patch shows through flint, brick and plaster. We follow the image to the source and confirm with tracer gas before anything is opened.
Yes. Both are part of a Wendover visit, and Aston Clinton is somewhere we have already found a leak. Stoke Mandeville and Weston Turville are on the same run, and so is Aylesbury if the job is on that side of town.
Most Wendover bookings are within 24 to 48 hours. We bring the full set of equipment on the first visit so there is no return trip. No find, no fee applies here as everywhere.
