“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.”

Leak Detection & Repair for Old Town’s tenement flats
From the Royal Mile and Canongate to the Grassmarket, Cowgate and Pleasance, Old Town homes are tall tenement flats, many in very old buildings with pipework added in stages over the decades.
Leaks in tenements often start in one flat and show up in another. We'll trace it up the building if needed — and if it's coming from a neighbour's pipes, we'll tell you straight so you can sort it with them.
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.
What’s included in Old 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

“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.”

Questions
Leak Detection & Repair in Old Town: Your Questions Answered
Can you come out for a slow leak in Old Town, not just emergencies?
Yes. Slow leaks are worth fixing before they become emergencies. Most leak investigations in Old Town are booked same-day or next-day.
Do you cover all of Old Town?
Yes — EH1, EH8 and the streets around the Royal Mile, the Grassmarket and the Pleasance. We also cover New Town, Newington, Marchmont and Leith.
Will you need to lift floors or open walls?
Only if there’s no other way to reach the leak — and we’ll explain why before we do. Where we open something up, we make good access so it’s easy to reach next time.
