Plenty of Otley homes are stone-built with solid walls, timber floors and cellars, which means a leak can travel a long way before it shows. We work from the evidence back to the source, isolating sections of pipe so we only lift the boards we need to.
Clues you’ve got a leak
- A jump in the water bill you can’t explain
- The meter still turning with everything off
- Stained ceilings, lifting paint or a musty cellar
- Boiler pressure falling every few days
- A warm patch on the floor over a heating pipe
Frozen pipes
Pipes in lofts, outbuildings and against outside walls freeze first. They split while frozen and leak when they thaw. We replace the damaged length, insulate it, and fit an internal isolating valve to outside taps so they can be drained before winter.
Repairs we do
Compression and soldered joints, tap and appliance connectors, shower trays and wastes, toilet pan connectors, weeping radiator valves, and pinholes in old copper heating pipes.
How it works
- IsolateWater off to stop the damage.

Will you have to rip up my floor?
Rarely. We narrow the leak down first so usually only one or two boards come up.

Many policies cover trace and access. We’ll write up what we found for your claim.
How do I stop pipes freezing?
Lag exposed pipes, keep the heating ticking over in cold spells and drain outside taps for winter.
