Leak Repair (Internal)
Internal leak repair is a responsive plumbing service to stop water escaping from pipework, joints or fittings inside your property. It focuses on finding the source quickly, isolating the supply safely, carrying out a durable repair, then testing everything so you can get back to normal with minimal disruption.
More information
What internal leak repair covers
Internal leaks can be obvious, or they can show up as damp, staining or falling water pressure. This service is designed to locate the fault and restore the pipework to proper working order.
- Leak diagnosis across internal pipework and connections
- Isolation of the water supply to prevent further damage
- Repair or replacement of faulty sections, joints, valves or fittings
- Resealing and re-making threaded or compression connections
- Pressure and functional testing after the repair
- Clear explanation of what failed, what was done, and what to watch next
When this service is most useful
This is the right option if you need a prompt, professional fix rather than a temporary patch.
Common signs and situations include:
- Drips or running water under sinks, behind toilets, or near appliances
- Damp patches, bubbling paint, mould, or staining on walls and ceilings
- Sudden drops in water pressure or noisy pipework
- Water collecting around pipe boxing, radiators, or internal stop taps
- Ongoing meter movement when no taps are in use
How the repair is delivered
Work typically follows a straightforward, transparent process:
- Initial checks to confirm the leak location and likely cause.
- Isolation of the supply and draining down where needed.
- Repairing the fault by replacing components or remaking joints and seals.
- Re-pressurising, checking for further seepage, and confirming normal flow.
- Tidying the work area and talking you through the outcome and any next steps.
After the repair
You will be advised on any sensible follow-up, such as monitoring for residual damp, drying out affected areas, or arranging access improvements if pipework is difficult to reach. If the leak has caused damage around fixtures or finishes, you will get clear guidance on what is plumbing-related and what may need a separate trade.
