    About our work in Peterlee

    Leak detection built around Peterlee's housing and ground conditions

    Whether your address sits in the heart of Peterlee or out on the fringe towards Seaham, Hartlepool and Durham City, we operate locally and arrive prepared. The area is mostly made up of Planned new-town housing from the 1950s onwards with steady expansion, which is exactly the housing profile our detection equipment was built for. Postcodes like SR8 are familiar territory and we know which streets tend to hide what kind of leak.

    Original new-town supply infrastructure is approaching end of service life. That matters because it directly affects how a leak presents itself — sometimes as a damp patch on a downstairs wall, sometimes as nothing more than a meter that will not stop turning. Engineers on call to Peterlee are positioned to reach properties off the A19 and A181 quickly when a response is urgent.

    What clients in Peterlee consistently value is the absence of guesswork. We use the right detection method for the symptom — thermal where heat differentials help, acoustic where the leak is pressurised, tracer gas where ground conditions defeat sound. The result is a clear diagnosis, a written report and a fixed price to fix it. Fully insured engineers, clean work and no unnecessary damage to the property.

    Services in Peterlee

    What we cover across Peterlee

    Six core services, each tailored to local property types and ground conditions. Every visit ends with a written report you can act on.

    New Supply Installation

    Whether you are upgrading an undersized supply or installing fresh into a Peterlee new-build, we manage the full job — survey, route, mole or trench, connection, pressure test and handover — to a clear timeline and a fixed price.

    Non-Intrusive Leak Detection

    Non-intrusive detection means we diagnose first, dig last. In Peterlee that typically saves clients from lifting tiles, breaking up bonded driveways or pulling out fitted kitchens unnecessarily. Where a leak is genuinely audible or thermally visible, we pinpoint it to the centimetre.

    Underground Leak Detection

    Tracing a buried mains leak across Peterlee demands more than guesswork. We map the supply pipe with electromagnetic detection, then narrow the leak point with correlator and gas-injection methods so any excavation is in exactly the right spot.

    Water Leak Find & Fix

    Our find-and-fix service in Peterlee closes the loop. There is no need to call a separate plumber once we have located the leak; in most cases we carry out the repair on the same visit and pressure-test the system before we leave.

    Lead Pipe Renewals

    Replacing a lead supply across Peterlee is straightforward when planned properly. We survey the route, agree the entry point with you, mole in a new MDPE pipe and reinstate cleanly, leaving a labelled stop tap and a clear handover.

    Moling

    Trenchless installation makes a real difference in Peterlee where driveways are bonded or gardens are landscaped. Our moling service installs the new supply with two small access pits rather than a full open trench.
