We don't guess. We combine multiple non-destructive technologies to give you a confirmed location before any work begins.
High-resolution infrared cameras detect tiny temperature differences caused by water behind walls, under floors and inside pipework.
Ground microphones and pipe-correlation devices listen for the unique sound signature of escaping water.
A safe hydrogen/nitrogen mix is traced to the leak point with sensitive detectors - the gold-standard for difficult, intermittent leaks.
Five ways we find and resolve leaks in Ascot - from everyday plumbing leaks to full insurance trace & access claims.
We trace central heating leaks accurately, without draining or dismantling the whole system - the right fix for a system that keeps losing pressure.
From a burst main under the driveway to a slow-dripping supply pipe, we locate mains water leaks fast - including intermittent, pressure-dependent leaks other companies miss.
Leaks hidden behind walls or beneath floors are located using non-destructive detection, so any repair is targeted rather than exploratory.
We trace roof and external leaks back to their exact source before any repair work begins - the fix for a damp patch with no obvious cause.
Insurer-ready reports with photos and diagrams, direct liaison with your insurer, and no call-out fee for confirmed insurance work.
We locate the leak before lifting a single floorboard.
Same-day attendance for urgent leaks in Ascot.
Detailed written reports for trace & access claims.

A leak detection test (sometimes called a leak detection survey) is a non-destructive investigation used to pinpoint the exact source of a hidden leak before any repair work begins. Our engineers combine thermal imaging, acoustic detection and tracer gas to confirm the leak's location, then provide a written report with photos - typically completed in a single visit.
We combine three non-destructive techniques: thermal imaging cameras detect the temperature differences caused by escaping water, acoustic devices listen for the sound of the leak through walls and floors, and tracer gas traces slow or intermittent leaks that are harder to find. Together these methods confirm the exact leak location without needing to lift floors or break into walls.
If you're searching for leak detection near me in Ascot, HUBB Group covers Ascot itself plus Sunninghill, Sunningdale, Windsor and Bracknell and the wider Berkshire area, with a 4-hour emergency response guarantee. Our engineers are based in Essex and travel throughout the region, so wherever you are locally, we can usually reach you the same day.
The main types of leak detection are thermal imaging, acoustic detection and tracer gas - each suited to different situations. Thermal imaging spots temperature changes from escaping water, acoustic detection listens for the sound of a leak through walls and floors, and tracer gas is used for slow or intermittent leaks that are harder to trace. We combine all three depending on the leak, whether it's in central heating, water mains, concealed pipework or a roof.
Almost never. Our approach is built around non-destructive detection - thermal, acoustic and tracer-gas methods locate the exact point of the leak so that any access required is minimal and targeted. If access is needed for the repair, we discuss and quote for it before lifting a single tile.
Most home insurance policies include "trace and access" cover specifically for leak detection. Our reports are formatted for direct submission to insurers and we'll handle the paperwork for you. If you'd like us to liaise with your insurer directly, just let us know.
We guarantee a 4-hour response for emergencies across Ascot and the wider Berkshire area - most jobs are reached within 60-90 minutes. For non-urgent investigations, we'll usually offer you an appointment within 24-48 hours.
Our standard investigation is charged at our hourly rate. If your insurer is covering the cost, you settle our invoice and reclaim from them. We'll always agree the price with you up-front in writing before any work begins.
Yes. The same team that diagnoses the leak carries out the repair, so there's no handover, no waiting for another contractor and no risk of the diagnosis getting lost in translation.
Intermittent leaks are our speciality. Tracer-gas detection in particular is highly effective for slow, occasional or pressure-dependent leaks that other companies struggle with.
