Contact Swift today for expert assistance to get Central Heating Leak Detection service.
Central heating systems rely on pressurised hot water to distribute heat evenly throughout your home. If your boiler frequently loses pressure, resulting in a lack of hot water or requiring constant top-ups, it may indicate a leak or an internal fault. Water leaks are a common cause of pressure drops, and detecting them early can prevent more extensive damage.
Engaging a professional leak detection specialist can accurately identify and locate the source of the leak, allowing for targeted repairs and ensuring your heating system operates efficiently and reliably.
To prevent water damage to your home’s floors and walls, prompt action is essential when addressing leaks in your central heating system, even minor pinhole leaks in radiators. Swift repairs can save you from costly, long-term damage. For more complex leaks, our experts conduct comprehensive inspections to identify the root cause using minimally invasive methods, then recommend tailored solutions that effectively resolve the issue while minimizing disruption to your daily life.

Common questions about our central heating leak detection services
Common signs include regularly needing to top up your boiler pressure, unexplained increases in energy bills, cold spots on radiators, gurgling noises in the system, damp patches or warm spots on floors (especially with underfloor heating), discolored floor coverings, or visible corrosion on radiator valves. If your boiler keeps losing pressure or you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to have your system checked promptly.
We use a multi-method approach depending on your specific system. This typically includes thermal imaging to identify temperature differences caused by leaking water, acoustic detection to hear the sound of escaping water, pressure testing to identify drops in system pressure, and hydrogen tracer gas that can find even the smallest leaks. For underfloor heating, we often use specialist thermal cameras that can precisely map the pipe layout and identify problem areas.
Our advanced non-invasive detection methods mean we can locate most central heating leaks without any damage to your property. We first use above-ground technologies to pinpoint the exact location of the leak. If repairs are needed, we can then target only the specific area where the leak is located, minimizing disruption. In most cases, we can even find leaks beneath solid floors or within walls without the need for extensive excavation.
A typical central heating leak detection survey takes 2-4 hours for a standard residential property. The exact time depends on the size and complexity of your heating system, the type of property, and the nature of the leak. For larger properties or more complex systems such as commercial buildings or properties with extensive underfloor heating, the process may take longer. We always aim to locate the leak as efficiently as possible while ensuring accuracy.
Yes, we specialize in detecting leaks in all types of underfloor heating systems, including water-based systems beneath solid floors, suspended timber floors, and screed floors. We use specialized thermal imaging cameras to map the pipe layout and identify anomalies, often alongside tracer gas technology which can detect even the smallest leaks in underfloor pipework. Our methods are completely non-destructive, allowing us to locate leaks without lifting floors unnecessarily.
