External Pipe Leak Repair

What external pipe leak repair covers

External pipework is exposed to weather, knocks and freezing temperatures, so small drips can quickly become bigger problems. This service focuses on finding the cause of the leak and completing a durable repair.

• Locating leaks on exposed external pipe runs and fittings
• Repairing or replacing damaged sections, joints, valves and outside taps
• Resealing connections and correcting poor or unsupported pipework
• Isolating and reinstating water supply safely
• Adding practical frost protection measures where needed (for example insulation)
• Advice on upgrades if pipework is poorly positioned or repeatedly failing

When this service is most useful

This is a good fit if you have visible dripping, staining on external walls, pooling water, reduced flow at an outside tap, or pipes that have split after cold weather. It is also common for landlord and small commercial properties where outside supplies are used regularly and need to stay dependable.

How the repair is carried out

The work usually starts with a quick inspection to confirm where the leak is coming from and whether it is pressure-related, frost damage, impact damage, or a failing fitting. The water supply is isolated where required, the faulty section is repaired or replaced, and the pipework is tested before it is left in service. You will be talked through what was found and what was done, in plain terms.

After the repair: preventing repeat leaks

Once the leak is resolved, you can reduce future callouts by protecting exposed pipework from freezing, securing loose runs, and checking outside taps before winter. If the layout or materials are contributing to repeated failures, you will get straightforward options to improve reliability over the long term.
