We understand the stress of having a water leak, but not knowing exactly where it is. Our leak detection specialists use non-invasive methods and provide a detailed investigation report.
They can pinpoint the location of a leak without causing damage, which is why most insurers require it when processing an “escape of water” or “trace and access” claim.

I recently had my flat roof renewed after a leak developed. I contacted Aspect on a friends recommendation, they very quickly booked me in for a survey next day and roofer came videoed my roof and talked me through the process. I am extremely pleased at the final result, the work was carried out efficiently, tidily and workman was polite, hardworking and talked me through what he was doing at each stage. The whole experience was a good one and I would highly recommend.

I was really impressed with the work done by Aspect and more specifically Dean who helped fix a leak for me. He did a thorough check and made sure there were no other issues and left me feeling confident our problems have been resolved.

The roofer took care to identify the source of the leak examining the roof and the loft space. He explained the scope of works necessary to deal with the problem clearly which included replacement tiles and installing vented tiles. He was very efficient in the way he did the job.

Really impressed. Adam turned up, got on with the job straight away and managed to clear our gutters and repair the leak around the dormer window.

Ahmed was excellent at detecting where our leak was coming from. Ours was a complicated case involving our neighbours bathroom. I had 4 other plumbers previously that couldn’t fix it. Ahmed was very punctual, polite, methodical and thorough. Explained everything very well and showed me what he found. He found 2 big leaks after doing lots of tests and fixed them straight away.

Our GasSafe registered experts will firstly check for boiler issues and leaks on exposed parts of a central heating system.
If a leak on concealed parts of the system is diagnosed, acoustic tests and tracer gas are some of the non-invasive techniques used.
Once detected, a leak is exposed for repairs to be made.
Pressure tests are done to identify the presence of leaks in a mains water supply pipe.
Leaks can be located using acoustic tests and tracer gas, even if the pipes are buried deep beneath concrete slabs.
Leaks are exposed without the expense of digging long trenches.

If you suspect a leak in your central heating or plumbing system, don’t ignore it. Fixing the problem is usually covered by an insurance policy.
Water escaping inside a property could be causing bigger problems than any visible signs might suggest. Water damage can eventually compromise the structural integrity of a property if left unresolved. Failing to act quickly might mean your insurance company rejects your claim.
