Start with the meter and the boiler
Charlie asks whether the meter turns with everything off and whether the heating loses pressure. One points outside, the other to the heating circuit, and the visit is planned around it.

Warboys sits on the clay ridge where Huntingdonshire drops down to the fen, and that clay moves. Dry summers shrink it and wet winters swell it, and a supply pipe or a heating pipe in a floor takes the strain. The village has grown well beyond its old core, so there are plenty of houses with heating loops in the screed and long plastic supply pipes under drives.
Anglian Water supplies Warboys. The main and the meter at the boundary are theirs. The pipe from the meter into the house is yours, and if it is losing water the meter will show it with every tap shut. That one reading is where most water leak detection Warboys jobs start, and Charlie will ask you to take it before he sets out.

Thermal imaging shows pipe routes under floors and behind walls, the heating loops in a screeded floor, and the patch that is warmer or wetter than it should be.

Acoustic listening on a live supply pipe, or tracer gas through a drained heating system, takes the leak to a few inches. Charlie marks it, photographs it, and explains the repair.
The camera is the main tool for underfloor heating leak detection Warboys estates need: it maps every loop in the floor and shows which one is leaking and where, without lifting the covering.
For external leak detection Warboys gardens and drives call for, a ground microphone follows the supply pipe from the meter and finds where the escaping water is loudest. Clay carries the sound well.
When a heating pipe in the slab has been drained, a safe hydrogen mix is pumped in and a detector finds where it surfaces. It gives a precise point on a floor that otherwise gives nothing away.
Huntingdonshire and Fenland are both regular ground. Close to Warboys we have found leaks in Doddington and Wimblington, in March West and Benwick, and in Chatteris North and Manea across the fen. In the other direction, Huntingdon North, Godmanchester and Hemingford Abbots and Buckden have all had visits, the most recent in July 2026. Fen edge houses with long supply pipes across soft ground make up a fair share.
Ramsey is the next village along, Huntingdon and St Ives are south down the B1090, Chatteris is east across the fen and Sawtry west over the A1. Leak detection Cambridgeshire wide runs from the same van.
If your buildings policy includes trace and access, it should pay for finding the leak and for any opening up and reinstatement the repair needs, including a screed floor. Charlie's written report gives the method, the thermal images, the readings and the marked position, which is what the insurer needs to approve the work.
Charlie starts by testing the mains and the heating to confirm which system is losing water. He then traces the pipework with thermal imaging, acoustic listening or tracer gas, depending on the floor and the pipe run, and marks the spot so only that area is opened up. Warboys is normally booked within 24 to 48 hours and often paired with a job in Ramsey or Chatteris.
No. The camera shows which loop is leaking and roughly where, and tracer gas narrows it to a hand span. The floor is opened at that one spot for the repair and the rest of the screed stays put.
Yours, if it is on the house side of the meter. Anglian Water looks after the main and the meter and nothing beyond. Charlie finds the leak under the paving by sound and marks the blocks to lift.
It can on Warboys clay. Shrinkage pulls at joints on supply pipes, and a slow leak then softens the ground further. A meter test confirms whether water is being lost and the acoustic kit finds the joint that has gone.
Then there is no fee. Charlie tells you what the tests showed and points you to the likely cause, such as a gutter, a shower seal or condensation, without charging.
