Water Leak Detection in New Malden
In New Malden, hidden leaks are often tied to Victorian and Edwardian terraces, larger 1930s and 1940s detached houses and flats near the station, where concealed pipework and later alterations hide faults. We narrow the search before opening up, particularly in homes near New Malden High Street, Motspur Park and Beverley Brook.
New Malden spans the boroughs of Kingston and Merton, with a busy High Street and a mix of terraces and larger interwar houses.
Not every leak announces itself. Some show up as a stain on a ceiling, a damp patch on a wall or a floor that feels cold and soft. Others show up only on the water meter, or in the sound of water running when everything is switched off.

Leaks come from failed joints, corroded pipes, fixings that have loosened, and sometimes from past building work that left a pipe under strain.
