Leak Detection in Kilburn and Brondesbury
In Brondesbury we traced a pipe under a wooden floor with the thermal camera and isolated underfloor heating loops at the manifold to find the leaking circuit.
Leaks in Kilburn and Brondesbury homes
Kilburn, Brondesbury, Queen's Park and Willesden Green are Victorian terraces and villas, many converted into flats and many others extended at the back with underfloor heating under engineered wood or tiles. The older pipework in the front of the house meets the new pipework in the extension somewhere under the floor.
On a Brondesbury job the thermal camera showed a pipe under a wooden floor by a doorway, clearly enough to mark the line on the boards. In the same house the underfloor heating loops were isolated one by one at the manifold and pressure tested, which identified the leaking circuit before the thermal camera found the point on it. The floor came up in one small area.
Parking is controlled on most roads and we plan around it. The report includes thermal images, manifold readings and photographs in the format insurers need for a trace and access claim.

What we detect in Kilburn and Brondesbury
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.
Water leaks
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 Kilburn and Brondesbury: questions answered
Do you cover Queen's Park and Willesden Green?
Yes. NW6 and NW2 including Kilburn, Brondesbury, Queen's Park, Willesden Green and Cricklewood.
How do you find which underfloor heating loop is leaking?
We isolate each loop at the manifold and pressure test it. The one that drops is the culprit, and the thermal camera then shows where on that loop the leak is.
Can you trace a pipe under engineered wood flooring?
Yes. Warm pipes show through wood on the thermal camera, and tracer gas confirms the leak point through the boards.
How quickly can you get to Kilburn?
Usually the next working day.
