Understand the problem
A radiator valve can be dry at the time of inspection while the system loses pressure elsewhere. Concealed connections, temperature changes and different zones can complicate the picture. We review the visible and hidden parts of the circuit together.
Check connections and the route between them
Accessible valve and joint evidence helps establish where further investigation is needed. Appropriate circuit testing and thermal observations may help trace concealed runs. We explain the location and access required for the agreed pipe repair.
What to prepare
Tell us about recent radiator changes, decorating, new flooring or pipework alterations. Share the pattern of pressure loss and any previous checks by your heating engineer.
Scope matters
Pressure problems caused by the boiler or its components need the appropriate heating specialist. A cold radiator can also be a circulation issue without a water leak.
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 thermal imaging. Read surface temperature patterns to support a plumbing investigation. The engineer selects the approach for the actual installation; no specific instrument is promised for every visit.
