Peebles attracts heating work that skews high-end — large detached properties along Edinburgh Road, restored Tweed-side cottages and a strong second-home market. Heat pumps are a regular conversation here, helped along by owners with the budget to do the job properly with radiator upgrades and underfloor zones.
Non-destructive water leak detection across Peebles — 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 Peebles 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 EH45 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: 1 hour via the A72.
Every Peebles 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.
Around Peebles we also cover:
Often yes — Peebles has the housing stock and outdoor space to make heat pumps work well. We design every system to heat the home reliably through Borders winters, not just to tick a grant box.
Yes — we book in early-morning and end-of-day slots for EH45 commuters. Just tell us your preferred window when you book.
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.
