Understand the problem
When heating pressure repeatedly drops, adding more water treats the symptom. The cause may be in the boiler, an accessible fitting or pipework concealed in the building. A useful investigation starts by establishing which of these has already been checked.
Narrow down the affected circuit
We review the loss pattern and any heating-engineer findings. Appropriate isolation and testing can help separate circuits, after which temperature patterns, listening or suitable tracer checks may be used. The system layout matters more than choosing one instrument in advance.
What to prepare
Provide previous boiler findings, a note of pressure changes with the system cool, and the location of any zone controls. Tell us if the property includes an extension or wet underfloor heating.
Scope matters
A boiler fault requires the appropriate heating specialist. Pressure loss alone does not prove that a concealed pipe is leaking, and gas appliance work is outside this plumbing investigation.
Detection through to the plumbing repair
For agreed residential work, the £1,345 package connects specialist investigation with the plumbing repair. It includes detection and tracing, necessary access or excavation, parts and materials, suitable post-repair testing and a Trace & Access report. A 12-month workmanship warranty applies to the repair.
The £100 booking deposit is deducted from the total, leaving £1,245. Applicable tax is included. Decorative and remedial reinstatement, including restoring floors, plaster, paving and other finishes, is excluded. Commercial work is quoted separately. Read the complete package scope before arranging a visit.
Choosing the right method
One method that may be considered is pressure testing & isolation. Help establish which part of a plumbing system needs closer attention. The engineer selects the approach for the actual installation; no specific instrument is promised for every visit.
