Water Leak Detection in Reigate
In Reigate, hidden leaks are often tied to semi-detached and detached houses, period properties near the old town and flats around the station, where concealed pipework and later alterations hide faults. We narrow the search before opening up, particularly in homes near Reigate Castle grounds, Reigate Priory and the National Trust hills at Colley Hill and Reigate Hill.
Reigate is a Surrey market town at the foot of the North Downs, with a historic centre and mostly semi-detached and detached housing.
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.

Where you see damp, when it started, whether the heating needs topping up, and any recent work on the house. Meter readings taken an hour apart with everything off are very useful. Include your road in Reigate so we can plan the visit.
Leaks come from failed joints, corroded pipes, fixings that have loosened, and sometimes from past building work that left a pipe under strain. Reigate sits at the foot of the North Downs, so houses on the slopes behind the town can have awkward routes for pipes and drains.

We try to avoid it. We narrow the location with pressure testing and isolation first, so any opening is small and precise. If an opening is needed, we explain where and why before we make it. Homes in Reigate include semi-detached and detached houses, period properties near the old town and flats around the station.
Yes. Flats bring shared pipework and neighbours below, so we plan isolation and floor protection and tell you what to pass to your managing agent.
Turn off the stopcock, open the cold taps to drain the pipes, switch off electrics near the water if it is safe and call 07477 877199. We will talk you through the next step.
Yes. We size each radiator to the room, fit thermostatic valves for room by room control and balance the system so the heat is even.
