Leak Detection in Surrey
Specialist Detection, Not Just a Plumber
Clear Flow provides professional water leak detection across Surrey 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Leak Detection FAQs — Surrey
Which parts of Surrey do you cover?
Clear Flow covers the full Surrey county area for water leak detection. This includes Guildford, Woking, Epsom, Reigate, Redhill, Leatherhead, Dorking, Caterham, Oxted, Cobham, Esher, Weybridge, Walton-on-Thames, Chertsey, Virginia Water, Sunningdale, Farnham, Camberley, and the surrounding towns and villages. If you're in Surrey and not sure whether we cover your specific area, call us on 0203 886 2316 and we'll confirm straight away. Response times across most of Surrey are two to four hours for emergencies.
How long does it take to reach Surrey properties for an emergency?
For emergency callouts — active leaks, burst pipes, or ongoing water damage — we typically reach most Surrey properties within two to four hours. Our engineers operate across the M25 corridor and South London, so northern Surrey towns such as Epsom, Esher, Cobham, and Weybridge are often reachable within the shorter end of that window. More distant areas such as Guildford, Dorking, and Farnham may take three to four hours. We operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including weekends and bank holidays, with no out-of-hours surcharge on the investigation itself.
Do you issue insurance reports for Surrey leak detection investigations?
Yes — all our investigations come with a formal written report that is accepted by major insurers operating in the UK market, including Aviva, AXA, Zurich, RSA, and LV. Trace and access cover is a standard inclusion in many Surrey home insurance policies. We recommend checking your policy schedule before booking — if you have trace and access cover, the cost of our investigation may be fully or partly covered. We offer a NoFindNoFee guarantee on all investigations, and our written reports are formatted to meet insurer requirements for evidence of loss.
What types of property do you work on in Surrey?
We work across Surrey's full range of property types — Victorian and Edwardian townhouses in Guildford and Epsom, interwar semis and detached houses throughout Woking, Reigate, and Cobham, modern new-build developments and apartment blocks in Weybridge and Esher, and rural period properties including farmhouses and cottages in the Surrey Hills and Mole Valley. All our detection methods are non-invasive and are chosen to suit the specific substrate, construction type, and pipe material. We never start with an access hole.
Can you detect underfloor heating leaks in Surrey properties?
Yes — underfloor heating leak detection is one of our most common investigations in Surrey, particularly in newer houses and barn conversions across the county. Underfloor heating circuits lose pressure gradually before any visible signs appear, and the failure point is rarely near a visible damp patch. We use pressure testing to confirm system integrity and thermal imaging to map the floor temperature and identify where the circuit is losing heat — without lifting any screed. We cover all UFH types including water-fed systems in concrete, screed, and timber suspended floors.
