Plumbing leak repairs in London
Silver Saints find and cure leaks across London. Damp patches, dripping ceilings, leaks under a sink and leaking pipes. Live leaks are isolated and made safe first.
Experienced handymen we know, not an app of anonymous bidders.
Plus parts. No call-out fee. Saturday at the weekday rate. A typical one-hour repair is £90 plus VAT plus parts.
What we fix
Water travels, so where it appears is rarely where it comes from. Most leaks turn out to be a joint, a trap, a valve or a failed seal within a metre or two of the mark on the ceiling.
A damp patch or stain
On a ceiling or a wall, traced back to what is actually wetting it.
Dripping from above
Made safe and isolated first, then traced, which is the right order.
A leak under a sink or bath
Usually a joint, a trap or a valve, and usually the quickest of all to cure.
A leaking pipe or joint
Copper, plastic and compression pipework repaired or remade.
A water bill that has jumped
A sign of a leak running somewhere you cannot see it.
A leak between flats
Traced from your side, with what we find written down for the other party.
A leak behind a panel
Bath panels and boxing opened where the evidence points there.
A leak under a floor
Investigated where access allows, with the floor lifted at one point rather than several.
Isolate and make safe
Water off at the isolation valve or stopcock, before anything else happens.
We trace leaks as multi-trade handymen, by isolation and inspection: copper, plastic and compression pipework, supply and waste pipes, traps, isolation valves and stopcocks, and behind panels, under floors and in ceilings where the evidence points there. We do not use thermal imaging or acoustic detection equipment, and where a leak needs specialist detection we will say so plainly rather than keep opening up walls.
Different job? If water is backing up rather than escaping see unblocking toilets and sinks, for a dripping tap see fitting taps, for a leaking WC see toilet repairs, and where the culprit is failed sealant see resealing baths and shower trays or resealing basins and sinks.
What it costs
Labour only, charged by time, plus parts. A visible leak is usually traced and cured inside the hour. A hidden leak is quoted on the day, because the access needed cannot be known before we look.
How we trace a leak
First we isolate and make safe. A live leak gets the water off at the nearest isolation valve or stopcock before anything else, because stopping the damage matters more than explaining it.
Then we trace by elimination: run one fitting at a time, check the meter with everything off, and follow the evidence rather than opening the nearest wall.
Last we open at the single most likely point, cure the leak, and test under pressure before we close anything up.
Where we cover
We cover all London boroughs plus the TW, KT, CR and BR postcode areas. London stacks flats on top of each other, so a leak is often somebody else's bathroom and your ceiling, and that changes who needs to be in the room. Engineers cross central London by motorcycle and scooter, which means faster arrival and easier parking.
Landlords and letting agents
A leak into a neighbouring flat is the one that turns into a claim, so it is worth getting the water off and the cause written down quickly.
We arrange access with your tenant or collect keys from your agent, so you do not need to attend, and we record what we found for the freeholder or the insurer.
Account invoicing and pre-approved spend limits are set out on our landlord services page.
When a leak needs someone else
We will tell you plainly when a leak is beyond what isolation and inspection can find, and needs specialist detection rather than more holes.
Water coming up from below ground, or backing up from a shared drain, is a drainage job rather than a plumbing one.
We make good the access we open, but replastering, redecorating and drying out a damp structure is a building job, and we will say what is needed.
Why Silver Saints
We are a managed service, not a bidding app: every Saint is a vetted professional we know personally, not a login on a marketplace.
Leak repair FAQs
Can you find my leak today in London?
Often yes. Silver Saints usually has same or next day slots for leak repair in London, and every booking carries a one-hour arrival window.
How much does leak repair cost in London?
Charged by time at £60 plus VAT for the first 30 minutes and £30 plus VAT thereafter, so a typical one-hour repair is £90 plus VAT plus parts.
How do you find a leak you cannot see?
We work from the evidence: isolate sections, run one thing at a time and open at the most likely point, so one access hole answers the question instead of several.
Do you use thermal cameras or leak detection equipment?
No. Silver Saints trace leaks as handymen, by isolation and inspection. Where a leak needs specialist detection we will tell you plainly rather than keep opening walls.
Water is coming through my ceiling. What do I do first?
Turn the water off at the stopcock if you can and call us. Silver Saints isolates and makes safe before tracing, which limits the damage.
My water bill has jumped. Could that be a leak?
It often is. Silver Saints checks the meter against everything being off, which shows whether water is running somewhere you cannot see.
The leak is coming from the flat above. Can you help?
Yes. Silver Saints traces from your side and writes down what we find, which is what your neighbour, the freeholder or the insurer will need.
Are you a job-board app like the marketplaces?
We are not a job-board app. Unlike marketplaces that match your job to the cheapest available bidder, Silver Saints contracts its own team of experienced, vetted, multi-skilled tradespeople, people we know personally and work with directly. From booking to billing, you get one accountable service and a real relationship, not an anonymous login from a gig-economy pool.
