We trace leaks in Bolton East using acoustic and thermal equipment — finding the exact spot before anything is lifted or cut.

That order matters: it means most Bolton East leaks are found without lifting a single floorboard. Non-invasive tracing keeps disruption to a minimum. Once the leak is pinpointed we lift only the smallest possible area of floor, tile or plaster, carry out a permanent repair and make good behind us. In the majority of cases the whole job — trace and fix — is completed in one visit. You get a written report with photographs showing the location and cause of the leak. That's the paperwork most insurers ask for when handling an escape-of-water claim, and it saves you a second visit from a loss adjuster's contractor. Bolton East throws up a predictable set of leaks. The Victorian terraces along Bury Road and Tonge Moor Road still have short runs of lead supply pipe under the kitchen floor, and the joints where they meet modern copper give way slowly rather than bursting. In the newer Bromley Cross and Astley Bridge builds it is usually an underfloor heating circuit nicked during a later extension or a push-fit joint weeping behind plasterboard. If your boiler pressure keeps dropping and there is nothing visible, that is the classic signature of a buried heating pipe — see our boiler repair page for the pressure-loss checks we run first.
