Leak Detection & Repair in Old Town
From the Royal Mile and Canongate to the Grassmarket, Cowgate and Pleasance, Old Town homes are tall tenement flats, many in very old buildings with pipework added in stages over the decades.
Leaks in tenements often start in one flat and show up in another. We'll trace it up the building if needed — and if it's coming from a neighbour's pipes, we'll tell you straight so you can sort it with them.
Damp in a Georgian flat can come from pipework, a shared stack or the building itself. We check the plumbing properly so you know whether it’s a plumbing fix or one for a roofer or your factor.
Reviews
“My downstairs neighbour complained that water was coming through their bedroom ceiling at 6pm. Kevin attended within 2 hours, investigated, and traced the leak back to my neighbour's own water tank — isolating the issue so they had time to contact their landlord. A great, reliable plumber, even if his jokes are mince.”
“Top group — they found the leak and replaced the toilet the same day, just a few days after the call. Very quick considering it wasn't an emergency.”
