Who We Help

Leak Detection for Landlords & Letting Agents

If a tenant reports a leak, damp patch, or recurring water damage, you need more than a verbal update and a vague invoice. You need a clear record of what was investigated, what was found, and what happens next.

We provide leak detection, repair where within scope, and written findings with photos for landlords and letting agents across Stirling, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and the wider Central Belt.

What usually matters most here: clear documentation, sensible next-step evidence, and fewer repeated call-outs without a settled diagnosis.
Why landlords and agents call us
  • A tenant has reported a leak and the source is still unclear
  • A plumber has attended but the problem keeps returning
  • An insurer needs more than a basic job sheet
Why landlords and agents call us

Typical triggers for a documented investigation

A tenant has reported a leak and the source is still unclear

What starts as a maintenance issue can quickly become a compliance, documentation, and communication issue.

A plumber has attended but the problem keeps returning

Repeated call-outs without a clear diagnosis usually increase cost, friction, and tenant frustration.

An insurer needs more than a basic job sheet

If a claim, trace and access case, or shared-building issue is involved, the record often matters as much as the repair itself.

What you get

A more usable handover than another vague call-out

Priority attendance where possible

Where a tenant has reported active damage or an issue is escalating, we aim to arrange attendance as quickly as availability allows.

Leak detection before unnecessary damage

We use the most suitable methods for the property and the suspected leak type to locate the source before broad opening-up begins.

Written findings and photos

We document what was investigated, what was found, and what was done, so you have a usable record afterwards.

Clear next-step evidence

Where the issue affects more than one flat, a communal area, or shared pipework, source evidence often matters before anyone can make a sensible decision on responsibility or repair.

Repair where within scope

Where the plumbing repair is within scope and access allows, we aim to complete it. Where wider access, permissions, or reinstatement are needed, we explain that separately.

Why documentation matters in Scotland

The record matters as well as the repair

Under Scotland's Repairing Standard, the issue is not only whether a repair is eventually carried out. It is also whether you can show that the problem was taken seriously and investigated properly.

We do not provide legal advice, but we do provide the documented findings that help landlords and agents show that action was taken.

A clear record helps you

  • Support communication with the tenant
  • Keep a stronger property file
  • Provide evidence to an insurer or loss adjuster
  • Clarify the next step where a factor or shared-building issue is involved
Who this page is for

Landlords and agents who need more than a one-line update

Private landlords

You need the source identified properly, the issue dealt with efficiently, and a clear record that protects your position.

Letting agents and property managers

You need one specialist who can attend, investigate, communicate clearly, and hand over usable documentation without repeated chasing.

Insurance and trace and access

Useful evidence for insurer-linked and shared-building cases

If your insurer has asked for investigation evidence, we can provide the documentation they may request.

On this page, trace and access means carefully locating and reaching the source of the leak and documenting what was found. Whether the cost is covered depends on the policy wording and the insurer's decision.

Practical point: in tenements and other shared buildings, source evidence is often what makes the next discussion with a factor, co-owner, or insurer possible.
Preferred contractor support

Consistency matters if you manage multiple properties

If you manage multiple properties, the practical value is often consistency as much as technical diagnosis.

One specialist who can investigate clearly, document properly, and repair where within scope reduces coordination time and repeated chasing.

Support can include

  • Repeat attendance where needed
  • Consistent written findings
  • Clearer tenant-facing communication
  • One specialist who can investigate and repair where within scope
Frequently asked questions

Questions landlords and agents usually ask first

What documentation helps if a leak dispute escalates?

The most useful starting point is a dated record of what was investigated, what was found, and what action was taken.

Can I use your report for an insurance claim?

Yes, as part of the claim evidence. We can provide written findings, photos, and trace and access reporting where relevant.

What if the source is in a communal area or another flat?

That is common in tenements and shared buildings. We identify where the source appears to be and explain what that means for the next step.

What if no active leak is found?

We still explain what was investigated, what was found, and what the next sensible step may be.

Next step

Need a documented answer rather than another vague call-out?

Tell us the postcode, the tenant-reported issue, and whether the property is shared, managed, or insurer-linked. We will explain the most sensible next step.
