We understand the stress of having a central heating leak but not knowing exactly where it is. The thought of having to damage walls, floors or ceilings in a vain attempt to find the source can leave you feeling helpless and facing the prospect of a large repair bill.

Our Gas Safe registered leak detection specialists use non-invasive methods. The trace and access approach can pinpoint the location of a leak without causing damage. It’s why it’s required by most insurers when processing an “escape of water” claim.

Csobo came and sorted an external underground leak for me today. He was brilliant - arrived on time, kept me fully informed throughout the process and all with a smile! He identified the issue quickly and provided lots of advice. Would happily recommend him, thanks so much!

Your leak detection technician Csaba was amazing. A very friendly, approachable and to the point professional person. To have someone in a stressful situation like a central heating leak who can calmly guide you towards a solution of a problem was very welcome indeed. A very pleasant experience in an unpleasant situation. 5 Star guy

Chris, Horsham, RH12
We would like to say a big thank you to a very knowledgeable, experienced and patient engineer named Michael. The whole experience with Aspect from booking through to identification and repair of the ceiling leak and the surrounding area was first class. Hope we don't get any other leaks but if we do, I will be back on the phone to Aspect.

Harry, Uckfield, TN22
Dean was fantastic. He quickly established the cause of the leak, dealt with the issue and explained it very well. He was courteous and pleasant to deal with. The speed of service, given the urgency, was brilliant too.

Henry, Dorking, RH5
The service Aspect provided was friendly, efficient, informative, and effective from the first call. Our plumbing engineer carried out the leak detection work thoroughly, and so tidy, taking care and respect throughout the work. They came out on a bank holiday weekend, same day service, and exactly in the time window they stated. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Liz, Brighton, BN3
Lucas was outstanding. I had an underground water leak that needed special skills and equipment to locate. Lucas arrived the same afternoon, was polite, respectful, informative, knowledgeable, open and honest and he knew his business. What more do you want from a professional tradesman? The job was not straightforward but Lucas persevered and was even praised for his skill by South East Water engineers who were also on site. Leak detected, uncovered, fixed. Highly recommended if you are unfortunate enough to need him!

Insurance claim advice

If you suspect a leak in your central heating or plumbing system, you shouldn’t ignore it. Fixing the problem can usually be covered on an insurance policy.

Water escape inside a property could be causing bigger problems than any visible signs might suggest. Water damage can eventually compromise the structural integrity of a property if left unresolved. Failing to act quickly might mean your insurance company rejects your claim.
