Leak Detection in Croydon
- Buried supply runs across long driveways and gardens, where a leak can go unseen for months
- Water bills rising with no visible cause anywhere in the property
- Older external pipework on larger plots, well away from the house
Leak work in Croydon splits along the same lines as the housing. In the interwar semis the supply pipe from the pavement is often old, sometimes lead or iron, and sometimes shared with the house next door, so a leak on it can concern two households at once. Inside, ground floors are usually suspended timber, which helps: the heating pipes run in the void underneath, and a leak there can be traced and reached by lifting a board or two. Kitchen extensions changed that, with pipes buried in a concrete slab where a pinhole leak shows up as a boiler that keeps losing pressure. In flats above shops near the town centre, the first sign is often water coming through the shop ceiling below, and the shop, the flat owner and the managing agent all want to know whose pipe it is. Tracing it comes before anyone starts cutting.

Common questions
Do you cover Croydon?
We do. Croydon falls within Croydon, covering the CR0, CR2, SE25, SW16 postcodes, and our engineers are out across Greater London from our Fulham office every day.
My bill has gone up but I cannot see a leak anywhere. Is that possible?
Very. On a property with a long buried supply run, water can escape underground for months and never surface — it just soaks away. The meter test tells you quickly: turn everything off, read the meter, wait an hour, read it again. If it has moved, something is running.
We share a water supply pipe with next door. Who pays if it leaks?
It depends on where the leak is and what your deeds say. Where one pipe feeds both houses, the length serving only your house is usually yours, the shared length is usually a joint responsibility, and the part under the public pavement is normally the water company’s. Tracing the exact point first avoids an argument. Some water companies help replace shared lead supplies with separate ones, so it is worth asking yours.
What does it cost?
You will have a price for the work before an engineer starts. If something behind the wall changes the scope, we pause and talk it through with you rather than carrying on and billing you afterwards.
