Leak Detection in Bromley
Bromley, Bickley and Widmore have large Edwardian and modern houses with underfloor heating, and in BR1 we tested a manifold loop by loop to find the leaking circuit.
Leaks in Bromley homes
Bromley's bigger houses in Bickley, Widmore and Sundridge Park have been extended and refitted with underfloor heating, multiple bathrooms and long supply pipes, while the town centre and Plaistow have Victorian terraces and newer flats. Underfloor heating leaks are the specialist call here.
On a Widmore job we worked at the manifold, isolating each blue loop in turn and pressure testing it, which identified the circuit losing pressure without touching the floor. The thermal camera then mapped that loop through the floor finish to find the leak point. The same approach applies to every underfloor system in BR1 and BR2.
Driveways and unrestricted roads make access easy. The report includes manifold readings, thermal images and photographs for a trace and access claim on your buildings insurance.

What we detect in Bromley
Underfloor heating leak detection
A leaking underfloor heating loop is found by isolating circuits at the manifold, then mapping the pipes with thermal imaging and tracer gas.
Underfloor heating
Thermal imaging leak surveys
A thermal imaging camera shows warm pipe runs and cool wet patches through floors and walls, so the leak is seen before anything is opened.
Thermal imaging
Central heating leak detection
A boiler that keeps dropping pressure means water is escaping somewhere in the heating circuit. We find the pipe or fitting and fix it.
Heating leaks
Water leak detection
Hidden leaks behind walls, under floors and in ceilings, pinpointed with thermal, acoustic and tracer gas kit before anything is opened up.

Trace and access insurance reports
Leak detection carried out and documented the way insurers expect, with a report your claims handler can act on straight away.
Insurance reportsFrom your first call to a leak you can see in the report
Call or WhatsApp with a few photos and a line about the symptoms. We ask a handful of questions, agree a fixed price and book the survey, usually for the same or the next day.
On arrival we pressure test the mains, hot water and heating, check the meter and test the escaping water, so we know what we are looking for before the detection starts.
Thermal imaging, the acoustic ground microphone and tracer gas are used as the pipework dictates until the leak is marked on the floor or wall.
You get a written report with readings, thermal images and photographs, ready for a trace and access claim. If you want the leak fixed, we open that one spot and repair it.
Leaks in Bromley: questions answered
Do you cover Bickley, Sundridge Park and Hayes?
Yes. BR1 and BR2 including Bromley, Bickley, Widmore, Sundridge Park, Plaistow, Shortlands and Hayes.
Will my underfloor heating need the floor dug up to find the leak?
No. The leaking loop is identified at the manifold and the leak point is found with the thermal camera. Only that point is opened for the repair.
How long does an underfloor heating survey take?
Usually two to four hours depending on how many loops the manifold serves.
How soon can you get to Bromley?
Usually the next working day.
Suspect a leak in Bromley?
Call now and we will tell you straight away whether it needs a same-day visit. Or send a photo of the stain, the meter or the boiler gauge on WhatsApp.
