Common causes

  • Wear on seals, washers and moving parts
  • Hard water scale in limescale-heavy areas
  • Age and corrosion in older pipework
  • Small issues ignored until they become big ones

What's involved

1

Inspection of the fittings, pipework and any related damage.

2

Repair or replacement with the right components for the job.

3

Testing everything works and leaks are gone before handover.

4

Practical advice on preventing the same problem returning.

Prevention — stop it happening again

Find your stop tap

Every home should have a known, tested stop tap. Find it, label it, test it yearly.

Watch for early signs

Drips, damp, noises and slow drains are the early warning system. Fix them at the drip stage, not the flood.

Know your water pressure

Sudden pressure changes mean something's wrong upstream — worth a check.

Insulate before winter

Lag exposed pipes before the first frost — frozen pipes are the winter's biggest call driver.

For landlords

Landlords: annual gas safety is the law

You must have every gas appliance, flue and pipe checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer and give tenants the CP12 record within 28 days of the check (and before new tenancies start). It's a criminal offence not to. Book your annual service early — engineers get booked out in winter, and an expired certificate can invalidate insurance.

Landlords: your repair duties

As a landlord you must keep the property's water, heating, sanitary and drainage systems in good working order and fix them promptly when they fail. You're responsible for structural repairs, the boiler and heating system, plumbing and electrics. Tenants should report faults in writing — and you should respond fast, because a small leak left unattended becomes a big claim.
