Non-Invasive Leak Detection

Specialist Detection, Not Just a Plumber

Clear Flow provides professional water leak detection across Kent using calibrated non-invasive technology — thermal imaging cameras, tracer gas equipment, and acoustic listening devices. We do not guess, and we do not dig.

Every investigation ends with a written survey report: the confirmed leak location, annotated photographs, and recommended next steps. That report is accepted by all major UK home insurers for Trace & Access claims and can be submitted directly to your loss adjuster.

We are typically on-site within a few hours of your call.

Six Detection Methods — Matched to Your Situation

We carry the full range of detection tools. The right instrument depends on your pipe type, building construction, and the nature of the leak — not whichever tool is easiest to hand. Most investigations use two methods independently to cross-confirm the source.

Absolutely quality service and what plumbers should exemplify. Turned up when they said, was kind, answered all my questions and wasn't being dodgy with anything. Skilful and efficient! Would highly recommend.

Jonny Hasbroli London

The technician arrived on time, was polite, and explained the process clearly before starting. They used advanced, non-invasive equipment to locate the leak quickly without causing any unnecessary damage to my property.

Aasim Khan London

Really impressed with the service. They responded quickly and were able to accurately detect the leak without causing unnecessary damage. Professional, efficient, and clearly experienced — would highly recommend to anyone dealing with a hidden leak.

Emmanuel London

Wayne and his colleague came and within an hour found the leak deep underneath my cellar and came up with a perfect plan which made the pipe redundant and re-routed it the following morning. An excellent option if you're having a problem with a leak you cannot find.

Brett Duneclift London

Called Wayne Monday and he was round Tuesday evening — came out of hours to help me out. Very professional, punctual and great with communication. Fair priced too. Will definitely recommend and use again.

Joe Braithwaite London

Contacted them and they were at the property within an hour. Honest, well priced and gave a detailed report that will likely save me hundreds of pounds. Will definitely recommend and if necessary will use again.

Wash & Go London

Wonderful efficient service — came out the same day, nothing was too much trouble. Engineers were professional and polite, explained the problem and persevered until the blockage was cleared. Would highly recommend this company.

Marsha BSL London

The staff were so professional and friendly. The technician was nice and informative — he advised me the leak was outside and wrote me a report which I sent to Thames Water. In a few days they sent a repair team and found the leak. Clear Flow are great at what they do.

Ayodele Oladuti London

I received a letter from Thames Water about high water usage. Wayne arrived on time, was so professional, guided me through what he was doing and advised me of the next steps. He also wrote me a report to send to the water board. 100% recommend.

Common Questions

Leak Detection FAQs — Kent

Which parts of Kent do you cover for leak detection?

Clear Flow covers North and West Kent for water leak detection — our primary coverage area includes Orpington, Sevenoaks, Dartford, Swanley, Gravesend, Tonbridge, Edenbridge, Westerham, Borough Green, Longfield, and the surrounding towns and villages. We also cover Sidcup, Bexley, and the inner Kent postcodes that border the London Borough of Bexley. For areas further into Kent such as Maidstone, Canterbury, or the coast, call us on 0203 886 2316 and we'll confirm availability and give you an honest estimate of travel time before you commit.

How quickly can you reach Kent properties in an emergency?

For emergency callouts to North and West Kent — Orpington, Sevenoaks, Dartford, and surrounding areas — our response time is typically two to four hours from your initial call. Our engineers are London-based and regularly operate in the DA and TN postcodes adjacent to the M25. More distant Kent areas may take longer. We operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If you're unsure about your specific location, call us and we'll give you a realistic arrival estimate rather than an optimistic one we can't meet.

Do you provide insurance reports for Kent leak investigations?

Yes — all Clear Flow investigations include a formal written report accepted by major UK insurers including Aviva, AXA, Zurich, and RSA. Trace and access cover is included in many standard home insurance policies in Kent, meaning the cost of our investigation may be covered by your insurer. We recommend checking your policy schedule before booking. Our NoFindNoFee guarantee means that if we cannot locate the source of the leak, you pay nothing for the investigation — only for any access work agreed in advance.

What property types do you cover in Kent?

We work across the full range of Kent's property types — Victorian terraces and Edwardian semis in Orpington and Dartford, interwar housing across Sevenoaks and Swanley, rural period properties including oast houses and farmhouses in the Weald, and modern new-build developments throughout the DA, BR, and TN postcode areas. Our detection methods are always chosen to suit the substrate and construction type — we never start with an access hole. For listed properties and conservation area buildings in Sevenoaks District, fully non-invasive investigation is standard practice for us.

Can you detect leaks in Orpington and the BR postcodes on the Kent border?

Yes — the Orpington and Bromley BR postcodes (BR5, BR6, BR8) are within our standard South London coverage area and are treated the same as any London borough. Orpington (BR5, BR6), Swanley (BR8), and Biggin Hill are all served on the same terms as central London with no additional call-out charge. These areas sit on the Greater London and Kent border and are well within our operating patch. Same-day response applies across all BR postcodes as it does across the rest of London.
