Real Trustpilot feedback from customers Aaron has attended.
Aaron started out in plumbing and heating before moving into leak detection, which means he understands how systems are built as well as where they tend to fail. On a job, he uses non-invasive equipment to locate leaks before any opening up of walls or floors is considered. Away from work, he plays golf and follows Arsenal — though he's more reliable at finding leaks than predicting Arsenal's results.
Aaron specialises in central heating and underfloor heating leak detection, water mains leak detection, bathroom leak detection, drain leak investigation, and underground leak detection. His strongest areas are plumbing and heating systems and water mains, reflecting his background before moving into leak detection. He applies this across both residential and commercial properties throughout the South East.
Aaron uses thermal imaging cameras to detect heat variations that indicate leaks behind walls or beneath floors without any destructive investigation. Acoustic listening equipment lets him identify the sound signature of escaping water in buried or concealed pipework. Where those methods need supplementing, tracer gas is introduced into the system to identify the exact escape point, and borescope cameras allow internal inspection of pipework.
Aaron has 15 years in plumbing and heating and 6 years in leak detection. He holds an NVQ Level 2 in Plumbing, a Level 2 NVQ in Mechanical Engineering Plumbing, City and Guilds Level 2 in Basic Plumbing, and a Level 3 in Plumbing Studies. That combination of trade training and formal qualifications underpins his approach to both system diagnosis and leak investigation.
Aaron works on residential homes and commercial properties across the South East and Greater London. Typical jobs include tracing leaks in central heating systems, underfloor heating circuits, bathroom plumbing, and buried water mains. He also carries out drain leak investigations and underground leak detection where the source of water ingress is not immediately visible.
If you notice unexplained damp patches, rising water bills, cold spots on a heated floor, or a drop in boiler pressure, it is worth arranging a leak detection investigation before the damage worsens.
