Gas Leak Detection and Repairs in Old Town

Properties around Old Town mix older and newer plumbing — pipe age rarely matches the house next door. In the local area we regularly handle boiler breakdowns, hidden leaks, blocked drains and heating that will not balance. Hidden leaks in Old Town homes often sit under kitchens or in heating loops; we document findings for insurers when needed. Including work toward Edinburgh and New Town.

Thermal imaging and acoustic listening gear get used where safe; sometimes it’s a simple failed compression under a basin. Our engineers cover Old Town and Edinburgh, New Town, and Newington for gas leak detection and repairs with the patience to prove the source, not just patch symptoms.

Why choose us

Hidden leaks waste water and destroy decoration. In Old Town we combine experience with patience — distinguishing plumbing leaks from damp and condensation before you spend on the wrong trade.

Recent leak detection work in Old Town

A homeowner in Old Town booked Gas Leak Detection and repair when mould appeared behind a kitchen unit; they’d already been told it was “condensation”.

We used non-destructive checks first; when the loop was ruled out, a small tile lift exposed a failed compression on UFH manifold — fixed, flushed, and documented for insurance.

Result: They said they’d feared a new boiler — honest isolation testing saved them thousands and days of disruption.
