Expert Detection Methods
Our team has built a reputation for quickly diagnosing leak problems that other plumbers have missed. Using professional equipment and years of hands-on experience, we often locate leak sources within minutes of arrival.
We use innovative methods to access problem areas without unnecessary damage to tiles, worktops, or decorative surfaces. Our systematic approach examines water pressure, visible signs, and hidden areas to pinpoint exact leak locations efficiently.
When I had water from the flat above streaming down 3 walls in my lounge and bathroom, my insurers sent an emergency plumber. when he arrived four hours later, he was unable to find the upstairs leak and left… I found SFR on Google… Stefan examined where the water was coming through the ceilings, we went into the bathroom of the upstairs flat and, using his experience and expertise, found the leak immediately (literally 20 seconds!)

Professional Repairs
Once located, we determine the most effective repair method while minimizing disruption to your property. Repairs may involve replacing pipe sections, resealing joints, or installing new components. We carry common repair parts in our vans to complete most fixes on the first visit.
After completion, we test the system thoroughly to ensure the leak is fully resolved and check for other potential issues that could cause future problems. As reflected in our customer reviews, we maintain clean work practices and take time to explain what we’ve found and how we’ve fixed it. Our attention to detail protects your home from water damage and provides reliable, long-term solutions.
