Coldstream sits right on the border, with a tight high street, a strong rural hinterland on both sides of the Tweed and a steady stream of cross-border work into north Northumberland. Many properties here are stone-built and sit outside the mains gas network, making oil servicing and LPG installs a real specialism for the area.
Non-destructive water leak detection across Coldstream — thermal imaging, acoustic correlation, tracer-gas and moisture-mapping to find a hidden pipe failure without taking up the whole floor. We work directly with insurers (most policies cover the trace-and-access cost), provide a written report with thermal images for your claim, and follow on with the repair so you only deal with one trade rather than three.
Hidden leaks in Coldstream usually show first as unexplained pressure-loss, a damp patch on a downstairs ceiling or a water-meter that ticks overnight. We use thermal imaging, acoustic correlation and tracer gas across TD12 properties so the floor only comes up where the leak actually is — saving the wider tile, screed or floorboard run.
Travel from our Kelso base: 15 minutes via the A698.
Every Coldstream leak job is documented with thermal images and pressure-test data — useful for insurance claims and for the trades following on behind us.
Step 1
We talk you through the symptoms — pressure-loss, damp patch, meter ticking — to plan the right detection method.
Step 2
Thermal, acoustic or tracer-gas survey. Most leaks pinpointed in 60–90 minutes.
Step 3
Cut-out, fix and pressure-test the affected section. Floor lift kept to the smallest possible area.
Step 4
Written report with thermal images, pressure data and a clear cost breakdown for your insurer.
Yes — most of our TD12 work is off-grid oil and LPG servicing, repairs and replacements. We carry common spares for Grant, Worcester Bosch, Warmflow and Vaillant on the van.
Yes — bespoke heating design for larger country properties is a regular part of what we do. We size systems and zone controls properly rather than fitting domestic kit at scale.
A standard non-destructive survey is typically £180–£280. Most home insurance policies cover this 'trace and access' cost — we provide the paperwork your insurer needs to reimburse you.
Only directly above the leak — usually a single tile or one floorboard. The whole point of acoustic and thermal detection is avoiding the wider lift that traditional methods cause.
Most accessible pipe leaks are repaired on the same visit. Underfloor heating leaks may need a return visit if a specialist coupling has to be ordered, but the leak is isolated immediately.
