Here at Pimlico Plumbers, we have over 45 years of experience in plumbing and leak detection. Our expert team is stationed throughout London, so we can be with you quickly in an emergency – any time of the day or night.
Whether you’re suffering from a ceiling leak or a burst pipe, our team of certified leak detection specialists can identify and repair leaks quickly, efficiently and with minimal disruption to your day. What’s more, our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, so you can rest assured knowing the leak has been resolved by London’s leading plumbers.
Bathroom leaks
Bathroom leaks can often be difficult to find, particularly if they are underneath your bath, shower or tiling. However, traditional methods of leak detection can be disruptive, particularly if your tiles or bathroom fittings need to be removed. That’s why our plumbers use the latest, non-invasive leak detection techniques and technology to accurately locate your bathroom leak with minimal disruption.
Leaking taps
Leaking taps not only waste water – they can also escalate your water bill. An unfixed tap can waste up to 5,500 litres of water per year, so calling our London-based leak detection specialists can not only reduce wastage but also save you money in the long run. Our experts will also advise whether it’s best to repair or replace your tap, providing you with the most economical, long-term solution.
Ceiling leaks
If you notice damp patches, sagging or dripping coming from your ceiling, it’s important to contact our leak detection team as soon as possible. If left untreated, ceiling leaks can lead to costly structural damage. Damp and ceiling leaks can be caused by various issues – not the least by roofing leaks, plumbing faults and leaking pipes. With Pimlico Plumbers, our team can detect the cause of your ceiling leak before quickly resolving the issue and even restoring the affected area.
Damp protection
Untreated damp can result in mould, mildew and other issues that not only cause damage to your property but can cause health problems like respiratory issues, infections and skin allergies. Whether a commercial or residential property, it’s crucial that you contact a damp specialist to find and repair the leak to avoid health risks and structural damage.

Damp & leak detection FAQs
The duration of a leak detection service will depend on the severity of the leak and how difficult it is to find/access. Heating leaks, on average, take the longest time, taking about half a day to locate and provide a detailed report on.
The cost of repairing a leak will depend on the severity of the leak and the extent of the repairs needed. However, we charge in 15-minute increments after the initial hour, so you’re only paying for the time needed to resolve the leak.
Signs of a leak include:
- Pooling of water on the ground
- Cracking of concrete or foundation
- Damp spots on the floor or the ceiling
- Sudden drops in water pressure
- More expensive water bills than usual
- The sound of running water
If you notice any of the above, contact Pimlico Plumbers – one of our engineers can be at your property within as little as 1-hour.
There are several reasons why leaks can occur in your home. It can be from drastic changes in temperature, causing pipes to crack, or it could be due to the age of the pipes, causing corrosion and rust.
