“Top group — they found the leak and replaced the toilet the same day, just a few days after the call. Very quick considering it wasn't an emergency.”

Leak Detection & Repair for New Town’s Georgian and period buildings
Across Edinburgh's World Heritage New Town — from Queen Street and Heriot Row to Dundas Street and Royal Circus — homes are mostly Georgian townhouses split into flats, many with basement levels and long-hidden pipework.
Damp in a Georgian flat can come from pipework, a shared stack or the building itself. We check the plumbing properly so you know whether it’s a plumbing fix or one for a roofer or your factor.
In big period houses, a stain on one ceiling can come from a pipe two rooms away. We trace pipe runs back to the source rather than guessing and cutting holes.
What’s included in New Town
- Tracing hidden and slow leaks
- Leaks under baths, showers and sinks
- Ceiling and wall damp from pipework
- Toilet and cistern leaks
- Leaking valves, joints and fittings
- A clear explanation of what caused it

“My downstairs neighbour complained that water was coming through their bedroom ceiling at 6pm. Kevin attended within 2 hours, investigated, and traced the leak back to my neighbour's own water tank — isolating the issue so they had time to contact their landlord. A great, reliable plumber, even if his jokes are mince.”
