Hamaad is 120% the plus of the day
Hamaad is 120% the plus of the day. It was very frustrating to learn after all the checks and big money spent that there was actually no leak in the system but a boiler issue, something a gas engineer should have easily resolved it. However, the fact that Hamaad was able to identify the issue which none of the plumber/gas engineers could do before him is such a big RELIEF, and not to mention an overall great experience with him, very likeable, professional and experienced plumber/gas engineer. A great and possibly the only highlight in an otherwise very frustrating time.
★★★★★

Definitely will keep using this service
I deal with complex ptsd which leaves me frightened of men. Hamaad came to my door to find the leak with the other home owner. Within a few mins into speaking with him I felt safe & happily allowed him to come into my safe space. He is very helpful, he was very efficient & covered all possibilities & he found a small leak that I never knew I had. Which is fantastic as I had no idea it was there. Now it can be fixed. Thank you for your service I will definitely keep Hamaad as my point to call for plumbing work going forward

ADI - great, quick, professional.
Hamaad came round to look into a leak we’ve had in our flat for some time and unable to source. He managed to source leak with the flat above quickly and advise flat above on how to resolve. We are confident in our own flat now knowing where the leak is from and very happy with Hamaad’s service. Very clear and gave great advice.

Hamaad was brilliant. He checked everything properly and informed us of what was going on and tips and tricks to improve the situation. He was very polite. He did leave our fridge off sadly after the visit which wasn’t ideal but human error and no hard feelings about that. Thank you

Investigation of leak
Hamaad visited our house at short notice to investigate a leak in our toilet. His checks were extremely thorough and made some clear recommendations of our next steps.
Hamaad's grounding is in domestic plumbing and heating — he has spent 10 years working on residential systems and 8 years specifically in gas heating before moving into leak detection. That hands-on experience with how systems are built and how they fail shapes the way he approaches an investigation. On a job, he works methodically through the likely causes before reaching for any single piece of kit. Away from work, he is mad about football.
Hamaad uses thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature variation caused by water escaping behind surfaces, which avoids unnecessary opening up of walls or floors. Acoustic listening equipment picks up the sound signature of a pressurised leak travelling through pipework or ground. Where those methods need supplementing, tracer gas testing, borescope cameras, and moisture meters are brought in to build a fuller picture.
What experience and qualifications does Hamaad have?
Hamaad has 10 years in plumbing and heating, 8 years in gas heating, and 3 years in leak detection. He is Gas Safe Registered and holds City & Guilds plumbing qualifications, along with Water Bylaws Level 2, Solar Thermal, and Unvented Hot Water Tank qualifications. That combination of heating and water system credentials underpins his diagnostic approach on site.
What types of properties does Hamaad work on?
Hamaad primarily works on residential properties, covering everything from houses with straightforward under-floor leaks to larger homes with more involved central heating or buried water mains supply pipes. His background in domestic plumbing means he is familiar with the way residential systems are laid out and where failures typically occur. He handles both the detection and, where needed, confirmation of what repair work is required.
When should you call Hamaad for leak detection?
If your water bill has risen without explanation, you can hear water running when everything is turned off, or you have damp patches appearing on floors or walls, an investigation is worth booking. The same applies to central heating systems that keep losing pressure or boilers that need topping up repeatedly. Call ADI Leak Detection on 0800 731 3843 to arrange an investigation — ADI will aim to assign Hamaad where he is available in your area.
How Hamaad finds your leak
Hamaad follows a consistent five-stage process on every visit. The approach is non-invasive and designed to isolate the fault before any disruption to your property.
Initial assessment. Review symptoms with the customer, check visible evidence, and identify the most likely system involved.
Selection of the right detection method. Pick the combination of thermal imaging, tracer gas, acoustic listening, or moisture mapping most likely to isolate the fault.
Non-invasive testing. Run the chosen method across the candidate area — no excavation or destructive investigation until the leak is confirmed.
Leak confirmation. Cross-verify the finding with a second method where possible, mark the exact location, and document the evidence.
Reporting and next steps. Provide a written report, photographs, and recommended repair options.
