Leak Detection in Luton and Dunstable

Around Luton town centre, Bury Park and High Town the housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces with suspended floors and later bathrooms. Stopsley, Round Green and Leagrave are mostly 1930s semis, with Limbury, Sundon Park, Farley Hill, Marsh Farm and Stockwood built after the war as large estates on solid floors. Dunstable has a small old core with interwar and post-war semis around it, and Houghton Regis has post-war estates and recent new build. Across the estates the pressurised heating system is the common failure point. Typical faults are a boiler losing pressure, a corroded pipe in the screed, or a cylinder connection weeping into a cupboard floor.

We cover LU1, LU2, LU3, LU4, LU5 and LU6, including Farley Hill, Stockwood, Caddington, Stopsley, Round Green, Wigmore, Leagrave, Limbury, Marsh Farm, Sundon Park, Bury Park, Houghton Regis and Dunstable. Calls are usually a boiler that needs topping up, a warm patch on a floor, a ceiling stain, or a meter that turns overnight. We check the boiler first for an external loss at the pressure relief pipe, then pressure test the circuit. Tracer gas finds the leak and the thermal camera confirms it. Supply pipes are listened to with the acoustic ground microphone.

Parking is open on most estate roads and there are driveways across Stopsley, Dunstable and Houghton Regis. Near Luton town centre and the station we carry the kit in. We protect the floors and work in order through the house. The written report with photographs, thermal images and readings is prepared for a trace and access claim on your buildings insurance. It is also useful for a landlord or letting agent handling the claim.
