Leak Detection in Jedburgh

Jedburgh's mix of historic stone properties around the Abbey, mid-century housing along Castlegate and rural homes up the Jed Water valley creates a real spread of heating challenges. Many properties off the main streets sit outside the gas network, so oil and LPG work makes up a healthy share of what we do here.

Non-destructive water leak detection across Jedburgh — 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 Jedburgh 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 TD8 properties so the floor only comes up where the leak actually is — saving the wider tile, screed or floorboard run.

Local considerations in Jedburgh

Cold valley pockets along the Jed Water can mean lower overnight temperatures than Kelso, which we factor into heat-pump sizing.
Some steep, narrow vennels limit access for large boiler replacements — we plan deliveries accordingly.
Conservation-area properties near Jedburgh Abbey often need careful flue placement to avoid altering listed elevations.
A high proportion of older houses still run on oil — we service, repair and replace oil boilers regularly across TD8.

What we'll do for you

Thermal imaging finds underfloor heating, central heating and hot-water leaks fast.
Acoustic correlation pinpoints pressurised mains and hot-water leaks under solid floors.
Tracer-gas (hydrogen / nitrogen mix) used for slow leaks below screed or behind tile.
Insurance-friendly written report with thermal images and pressure-test data.
Repair carried out by the same engineer — no second trade visit.
Re-instate pressure and full leak-test before sign-off.

Jedburgh Leak Detection FAQs

Do you service oil boilers in Jedburgh?+

Yes — oil servicing is a regular part of our Jedburgh round. We carry the parts most common to Worcester Bosch Greenstar, Grant Vortex and Warmflow units, so most services are completed in a single visit.

Can you work on properties in the conservation area near the Abbey?+

Yes — we plan flue routes and external works carefully so listed and conservation-area elevations aren't compromised. Where listed-building consent is needed, we'll flag it before quoting.

How much does leak detection cost?+

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.

Will you have to lift my floor?+

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.

Can you fix the leak the same day?+

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.
