Experience complete peace of mind with our transparent fixed pricing—such as our £85 leak repair service—and our commitment to using only WRAS-approved fittings.

How Our Non-Destructive Testing Works

Finding a leak should never mean unnecessarily tearing up your floorboards or damaging your walls. We specialise in non-destructive testing to locate hidden faults safely and efficiently.Using state-of-the-art thermal imaging cameras and highly sensitive acoustic sensors, our comprehensive trace and access service identifies the root cause of the issue with absolute accuracy. This modern approach is not only faster but significantly reduces disruption to your home or business, allowing our engineers to isolate the exact problem area before any physical excavation is even considered.

Fixed Price Leak Repair You Can Rely On

We believe in complete price transparency and honest advice. Dealing with a leak is stressful enough without having to worry about escalating or hidden costs. That is why WGS Services offers a clear, fixed price leak repair model for standard fixes at just £85.Once we have completed our damp investigation and isolated the leak, we provide impartial advice on the best course of action to restore your system. When repairing your pipework, we exclusively use WRAS-approved fittings to ensure a long-lasting, reliable, and legally compliant fix that safeguards your water supply.

Why Does My Boiler Keep Losing Pressure?

One of the most common signs of a hidden water leak is continuous boiler pressure loss. If you find yourself constantly having to top up your heating system, there is likely a small pinhole leak in your pipework hidden beneath the floor or within a wall cavity.Left untreated, even the smallest leak can rot joists, damage ceilings, and create an unhealthy environment. By booking our trace and access experts, we can find the leak fast, saving you from inflated utility bills and costly structural repairs down the line. If the leak has caused wider issues, we also provide fixed-price plumbing repairs and emergency plumbing support to get your property back to normal quickly.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our non-destructive leak detection and trace and access services in Lancashire and the surrounding areas.

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?

+

Common signs include an unexplained increase in your water bill, a damp smell or visible mould, peeling wallpaper, or a boiler that constantly loses pressure. If you have a water meter, you can test for a leak by turning off all appliances and checking if the dial is still moving.

Is leak detection covered by my home insurance?

+

Most standard home insurance policies include "Trace and Access" cover. This usually pays for a professional like WGS Services to find the leak and provide access for the repair. We recommend checking your policy or speaking to your insurer, as we can provide the professional reports they often require to process a claim.

Will you have to dig up my floor to find the leak?

+

In almost all cases, no. Our thermal imaging and acoustic equipment allow us to find the leak through the floor or wall. We only need to create a small access point once we have found the exact location, which keeps the mess to an absolute minimum.

What is the difference between a plumber and a leak detection specialist?

+

A standard plumber might try to find a leak by looking for visible signs and potentially removing sections of wall or flooring. A specialist uses high-tech equipment to "see" through surfaces, finding the leak faster and more accurately without the need for destructive searching. At WGS Services, we offer both the specialist detection and the professional repair in one visit.

How long does it take to find a leak?

+

Most domestic leaks can be located within a few hours using our specialist tools. Once the leak is found, the repair time depends on the location and type of pipe, but we always aim to get your water back on and the area sealed up on the same day.
