Finding leaks in Sudbury homes
A lot of Sudbury’s older houses have suspended timber ground floors, so a leaking pipe can drip for weeks before anyone notices. In the solid-floor estates at Great Cornard and Chilton, heating pipes are often run in the screed, and a slow leak there shows up as a boiler that needs topping up every few days.
We do not start by pulling up floors. We check the meter, isolate parts of the system and narrow the leak down so the disruption is kept to the smallest area we can.

How a visit works
We start with the simple checks: the meter, the boiler pressure and the visible pipework. Then we narrow it down room by room so that we only lift the boards or open the wall where the leak actually is. Once we have found it, we explain what we found, agree the repair with you and fix it. If you need a report for an insurance claim, tell us when you book.

Leak Detection in Sudbury: common questions
How do I know if I have a hidden leak?
Common signs are a boiler that keeps losing pressure, a water meter that moves when nothing is running, damp patches, a musty smell or a higher water bill.
Will you need to take up floors?
Only where it is needed. We narrow the leak down first so that any opening up is kept to a minimum.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. There is no call-out fee.
