Beyond Leak Detection
While The Leak Hunter is best known for finding hidden leaks and solving complex leak-related problems, many customers ask us to help with other issues affecting their heating systems and properties. Some of these services are identified while we’re helping customers diagnose leaks, heating faults and system performance issues, while others are booked directly by homeowners looking for experienced, diagnosis-led engineers. From mould and damp investigations to power flushing, central heating repairs, smart heating controls and advanced boiler servicing, these are the specialist services we regularly provide across London, Surrey, Kent and Sussex.
Power flush
A power flush can transform the performance of an ageing central heating system. Cold radiators, noisy pipework, circulation problems and recurring heating faults are often caused by sludge and contamination building up within the system over many years. At The Leak Hunter, we regularly help homeowners who are frustrated by poor heating performance or have been advised that a power flush may improve efficiency and reliability. Using professional power flushing equipment, we remove harmful deposits, restore circulation and help central heating systems operate as they should. Many customers come to us following ongoing heating problems, while others simply want to protect their boiler and maximise system efficiency before issues develop. We also provide a 12-month warranty on our power flushes*, giving homeowners added confidence that the work has been carried out properly and the system has been protected for the future.
Central Heating Repairs
Many central heating repairs are identified while we’re investigating leaks, boiler pressure loss and heating system faults. Once the underlying cause has been found, customers often ask us to carry out the necessary repairs rather than bringing in another contractor. From leaking valves and faulty pumps to radiator issues, heating controls and pipework repairs, we provide practical solutions backed by a thorough understanding of how the system works. We also carry out central heating repairs as a standalone service for homeowners looking for experienced engineers who can diagnose and fix faults properly the first time.
Smart Heating Installation & Repair
Smart heating controls can help reduce energy consumption, improve comfort and give homeowners greater control over how their heating system operates. While we’re helping customers with leak detection, heating repairs, power flushing and other diagnostic work, they often ask about ways to improve heating performance, reduce running costs or gain better control of their system. We can advise on, install and configure Hive, Nest, Tado and other smart heating solutions, ensuring they work properly with your existing heating system. Whether you’re upgrading an older thermostat or looking for smarter zoning and scheduling, modern heating controls can make a noticeable difference to both comfort and efficiency.
Underfloor Heating Repair
While carrying out leak detection, central heating diagnostics and other heating investigations, it is very common for customers to mention that a particular room is always cold, the kitchen floor has never heated properly or part of the underfloor heating system has never worked as expected. As fully experienced heating engineers, we are able to investigate these faults at the same time, often identifying issues with controls, actuators, manifolds, balancing or circulation that have gone unresolved for years. We also provide underfloor heating repair as a standalone service, helping homeowners restore comfort, performance and reliability throughout their heating system.
Strip Down Servicing
While investigating heating faults, central heating leaks and boiler performance issues, we often find appliances that would benefit from a proper strip down service. Many homeowners are surprised to discover that their boiler has not received a thorough internal inspection or clean for many years. As Gas Safe registered engineers, we can carry out a comprehensive strip down service, dismantling and cleaning key components, checking for wear, contamination and developing faults before they lead to breakdowns. Many customers choose this service after we’ve identified issues during an investigation, while others book it as a proactive way to improve reliability, efficiency and long-term boiler performance.
Heating Problem Expert
Some heating problems refuse to go away. While carrying out leak detection, central heating diagnostics and repair work, we are often asked to investigate faults that other engineers have been unable to resolve. Whether it’s recurring boiler issues, unexplained pressure loss, poor circulation, uneven heating or a system that has never performed properly, we take a structured, diagnostic approach to finding the true cause. With decades of experience across domestic heating systems, we specialise in solving the difficult problems that others have missed, helping homeowners finally get lasting answers and reliable solutions.
Mould and Damp Investigation
Persistent mould and damp can signal deeper issues in your plumbing or heating systems. We offer thorough mould and damp investigations using specialist tools to identify the root cause, whether it’s pipe leaks, condensation, or insufficient ventilation. Our detailed reports help you take informed steps toward a healthier, drier property.
And of course, every repair and solution comes with our no-nonsense warranty as standard.
