Leak Detection London Colney

From Napsbury Park Apartments to Village Homes

London Colney is a mix of the older village around the High Street and the River Colne, family homes from the post-war decades, and the apartments and converted buildings at Napsbury Park. Each throws up different leaks. In apartments, the first sign is often a neighbour below reporting a stain. In houses, it may be a water bill that has crept up or a patch of ground outside that never dries.

We start with the water meter. Turning everything off and watching the meter tells us whether water is being lost, and checking the internal stop tap tells us whether the leak is inside the house or on the supply pipe outside. That one test saves a lot of guesswork. Inside, we check bathrooms, kitchens and the heating system before narrowing down with moisture readings.

We repair the leak once we find it. For older pipework we also carry out pipe repairs, and our London Colney plumbing and heating page covers our other local work. We are just down the road from our St Albans base, a few minutes along the A1081.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really happy with the work carried out by Alban Plumbing and Heating. They fitted several new radiators in my home and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. They arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and took great care while working in the house.
The installation was completed to a high standard, everything was left clean and tidy, and the new radiators look fantastic and heat up perfectly. It's refreshing to find a company that is reliable, communicates well, and clearly takes pride in their work.
I wouldn't hesitate to use Alban Plumbing and Heating again and would happily recommend them to friends and family.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Asif has done a great job looking after our plumbing and heating for several years now. He also recently attended in under an hour to fix an emergency leak that he and his son sorted with great efficiency allowing us to get back to work and continue operating with minimal disruption to our business and patients. He’s reasonably priced and friendly and I’m sure we will be using him for many years to come.  His 5 star status is well deserved.

Leak Detection London Colney: Questions Answered

How do I check for a leak with my water meter?

Turn off every tap and appliance and note the meter reading. Wait 30 minutes without using any water. If the reading has changed, water is being lost.

How can I tell if the leak is inside or outside?

With everything off, close your internal stop tap and check the meter again. If it is still turning, the leak is likely on the supply pipe outside.

Who is responsible for the supply pipe?

Usually the homeowner is responsible for the supply pipe from the property boundary to the house. Your water company covers the pipe up to the boundary. In apartments, check with your managing agent.

Water is leaking into the apartment below. What should I do?

Turn off your water at the isolation valve or stop tap and contact your managing agent. Then call us.

Do you repair the leak as well?

Yes. In most cases we repair the leak in the same visit once we have found it.

How much does leak detection cost?

It depends on the property and how hidden the leak is. We agree the price before we start.
