When someone calls and asks “how much will it be?”, they’re not being awkward — they just don’t want a surprise.
And fair enough.
This page gives you real-ish ranges and the reasons the price moves. No “magic detector” promises. No waffle.
Just: where the leak is, how accessible it is, and whether it’s an emergency.
If you’ve got water running through a ceiling or near electrics, don’t wait — call 07727 154746 and we’ll talk you through the safest next step first.
Use this to get a sensible range. It’s not a “final bill generator” — it’s a way to stop guessing. If you don’t know the leak type yet, choose “Leak (unknown / needs diagnosis)”.
A leaking joint under a kitchen sink can be a neat repair. The same leak behind a tiled wall can turn into a small access job — and then you’re into making good.
If water is pouring or affecting electrics, it’s a different situation. If you haven’t already, use: our immediate water leak checklist.
Ceiling staining can be the end point, not the start. This guide helps: ceiling leak signs and fixes.
Damp that keeps returning is often leak-linked. Even after repair, drying matters. Start at: the damp & leak detection pillar page.
If boiler pressure keeps dropping or there’s water underneath the boiler, don’t keep topping up and hoping. Use: why a boiler can leak water from underneath.
Call 07727 154746. Tell us where the leak is and whether it’s controlled. We’ll give you a straight price and the fastest sensible option. Same-day is possible depending on your area.
