Our leak detection engineers cover the town centre, Upper Sheringham, Beeston Regis, West Runton and everywhere in between using non-destructive testing methods to locate hidden leaks accurately.

Our Leak Detection Services
We offer a comprehensive range of leak detection services to locate leaks anywhere in your Sheringham property — behind walls, beneath floors, underground, within your heating system. Our multi-method approach means we find the actual source of the problem, not just where the water ends up.
Water Leak Detection
We locate hidden leaks in mains supply pipes, internal plumbing and waste systems using advanced water leak detection technology that pinpoints the exact leak location.
Central Heating Leak Detection
We find leaks in radiator pipework, boiler connections and sealed heating systems with our dedicated central heating leak investigation service. Ideal when your boiler keeps losing pressure.
Underfloor Heating Leak Detection
We trace leaks in underfloor heating circuits beneath screed, tile and laminate floors using specialist underfloor heating leak investigation methods.
Underground Leak Detection
We locate leaks in buried supply pipes, service pipes and drainage systems across gardens and driveways with professional underground leak location services.
Commercial Leak Detection
Full commercial leak investigation and repair services for hotels, guesthouses, retail premises, holiday parks and business properties across Sheringham and North Norfolk.
Trace and Access
Insurance-approved trace and access investigations with detailed reports, photographic evidence and findings to support your claim.
Leak Detection Technology We Use
Finding a hidden leak takes more than guesswork. Our leak detection engineers use multiple non-destructive testing technologies, choosing the most appropriate methods based on your property type and the suspected leak location. This multi-method approach gives us the best chance of pinpointing the leak while keeping disruption to a minimum.
Thermal Imaging
Our thermal imaging leak surveys use infrared cameras to detect temperature differences caused by escaping water. Ideal for locating leaks behind walls and beneath floors without damage.
Acoustic Listening
Acoustic leak detection methods use sensitive microphones to detect the sound of water escaping under pressure. Excellent for tracing leaks in mains supply pipes.
Tracer Gas Detection
For heating systems and underfloor circuits, tracer gas leak testing introduces a safe gas that escapes at the leak point and rises to the surface for detection.
Moisture Mapping
We use advanced moisture meters and mapping to track dampness through building materials, helping trace the leak path back to its source with precision.
Leak Detection for Sheringham Property Types
Sheringham's property mix presents unique challenges for leak detection. This popular North Norfolk coastal town includes everything from Victorian and Edwardian properties near the town centre to period cottages, 1930s semis and modern developments. Each construction type has different pipe materials, layouts and common leak points.
Period and Victorian Properties
The older properties around Sheringham town centre and along the coastal roads often have a mix of original and updated plumbing. Many date from Sheringham's expansion as a Victorian seaside resort. Leaks commonly occur at joints between different pipe materials, and properties exposed to coastal conditions may experience accelerated corrosion. Our thermal imaging and moisture mapping can trace these complex pipe runs without opening up the structure.
Holiday Homes and Rental Properties
Sheringham's popularity as a holiday destination means many properties are let seasonally or used as second homes. Leaks in unoccupied properties can go undetected for weeks, causing significant damage. We work with property owners, letting agents and management companies to provide timely leak detection when problems are suspected — often identified through unexpected water bills or damp reported by guests.
Commercial and Tourism Properties
Sheringham is home to numerous hotels, guesthouses, B&Bs, cafés and retail premises. We provide professional plumbing leak detection and repair for commercial premises with flexible scheduling to minimise business disruption, particularly important during the busy tourist season.
Signs You Might Have a Leak
Many leaks stay hidden for weeks or months before becoming obvious. By the time you see visible damage, significant water may already have been lost. If you've noticed any of these warning signs, our leak detection services can help — you can also use our quick leak checker tool to assess your situation.
Catching a leak early typically means simpler repairs, lower costs and less disruption to your home or business.
How Our Leak Detection Process Works
When you contact us about a suspected leak, here's what happens:
Initial Conversation
We discuss your situation over the phone. What have you noticed, where, and when? This helps us understand what kind of leak we're likely dealing with and which equipment to bring.
Site Survey
Our engineer inspects your property, looks at the visible damage, checks systems (boiler pressure, water meter, etc.) and identifies access points. We explain our approach before starting.
Detection Work
Using thermal imaging, acoustic listening, tracer gas, moisture mapping or a combination, we systematically trace the pipe runs and isolate the leak source. This usually takes 1–4 hours for domestic properties and 2–6 hours for commercial premises.
Findings and Report
Once we've located the leak, we explain what we've found, show you the evidence and mark the leak location. You'll receive a written report with photographs, suitable for insurers.
Repair Guidance
We advise on repair options and can carry out minor repairs same day. For larger jobs, we provide clear information and a quote, or you can choose your preferred contractor.
Think You Have a Leak?
Don't let water damage get worse. Our engineers can locate your leak quickly using non-invasive technology.
Insurance Claims & Trace and Access
If you're claiming on your home insurance for water damage, your policy may include trace and access cover. This typically pays for the investigation to find where the leak is coming from, separate from the cost of repairs.
Not sure whether your policy includes cover? Check your policy documents or contact your insurer before arranging your visit.
