Horsforth has more local sandstone houses than anywhere else in Leeds, many of them with cellars and suspended timber floors. Water can run a long way under those floors before it shows. We isolate the pipework a section at a time so only the boards that need lifting come up.
Signs of a leak
- The water meter moving with every tap off
- A stain on the ceiling under the bathroom
- Boiler pressure dropping between top-ups
- A damp or musty cellar
- Paint bubbling at the bottom of a wall
Burst pipes
Pipes in lofts, cellars and garages freeze first. We replace the split length, lag the run, and fit outside taps with an isolating valve inside so they can be drained for winter.
If your insurance covers trace and access, we'll write up what we found and fixed.
