Bathroom leaks
Repairing bathroom leaks can be a quick and easy task with the help of Pimlico. Hidden or hard-to-find water leaks in bathrooms can be a common problem, and having to break or remove tiles to expose bathroom and shower leaks causes unnecessary damage. Read on to discover our high-tech methods to find a better solution for bathroom leaks.
Leaking taps
Leaking taps can be costly, as well as annoying. An unfixed tap can waste up to 5,500 litres of water per year, which is why hiring leak detection specialists will save you money in the long run. Pimlico will detect the leak and replace the relevant parts, making sure your tap is back to its best.
Ceiling leaks
A leaking ceiling is something no one wants. They can occur due to the wet weather in London, plumbing issues or leaking pipes. No matter what the cause, if you spot a leak coming through your ceiling then contact us for an expert solution.
Damp source protection
If you notice black mould or mildew patches on any of your walls, ceilings or floors, you should immediately call our damp specialists. Damp can cause respiratory issues or infections, while mould caused by dampness produces allergens and irritants. The structural integrity of your property can also be compromised if dampness is not dealt with quickly and effectively.

Damp & leak detection FAQs
You should suspect that you have a water leak when you notice:
- Pooling of water on the ground

- Your water bills are higher than usual
- You hear water running
Contact us immediately if you see any of the issues listed above.
This is completely dependent on the severity of the leak and just how hidden it is. Heating leaks, on average, take the longest time. A hot/cold water leak will take about half a day to locate and provide a detailed report on.
Rates can vary depending on the size of the task at hand and the type of equipment that needs to be used. The time and location will also be factored in. For a more accurate idea of the cost, call us on 020 4527 4542 and speak to one of our leak specialists.
There are several reasons why leaks can occur in your home. It can be from drastic changes in temperature, causing pipes to crack, or it could be due to the age of the pipes causing corrosion and rust. Poor installation, poor workmanship, external conditions or even accidents can also cause a leak to occur.
