Website: https://emergencyleakexpertslondon.co.uk Email: info@emergencyleakexpertslondon.co.uk Coverage: London inside the M25, 24/7 Last updated: 2026-11-13 ## Prices No VAT is charged. - Emergency leak detection: from £220 an hour, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. The exact rate is stated when you book. - Standard leak detection: £160 an hour. - Mains and supply pipe leak detection: £180 an hour. - Heating and underfloor leak detection: £200 an hour. - Trace and access, with an insurer-ready written report: £200 an hour. - Moisture mapping: from £175 an hour. - Tracer gas leak detection: £160 an hour, plus £80 for the gas cylinder, charged once and only when gas is used. Every hourly rate is a fixed hourly rate quoted before we attend and never exceeded. No call-out fee and no travel charge: the rate starts when work starts. Equipment is never billed as an extra and the written report is inside the hours. ## No find, no fee No find, no fee waives the detection fee in one situation: we attend a confirmed live leak inside your own property and a live leak cannot be located. A leak that proves to be a neighbour's, a communal riser's or the water company's main is a located leak and is charged. A survey that establishes no leak exists is charged for the hours as well, because ruling a leak out is the answer you paid for. ## After the leak is found - A small fix, such as tightening a fitting or changing a small part, is done on the spot once the leak is found. - For a longer repair the leak is stopped first, and the repair is quoted in writing after that. - Repair work runs at the same hourly rate as detection, with parts and materials costed on top and agreed before we start. - Making good, such as walls, ceilings and decorating, is quoted per job by a partner team. ## Independence Emergency Leak Experts London is an independent leak business. It is not a water company, is not affiliated with any water company or insurer, and does not decide insurance claims. ## Service and pricing pages - [Emergency Leak Detection London: Methods, Limits and Rates](https://emergencyleakexpertslondon.co.uk/emergency-leak-detection): How an emergency leak detection visit works in London: the methods used, when each one fails, what the hourly rate covers and what a visit cannot tell you. - [Emergency Leak Repair London: What Is Fixed and What Is Quoted](https://emergencyleakexpertslondon.co.uk/emergency-leak-repair): Emergency leak repair in London: which leaks are stopped and fixed on the spot, which are quoted in writing first, how repair is charged and what is left out. - [Emergency Leak Detection Price: Every Hourly Rate Explained](https://emergencyleakexpertslondon.co.uk/pricing): The emergency leak detection price in plain words: each hourly rate, what sits inside the hours, tracer gas, repairs and making good, with worked totals. - [What Happens When You Call for a Leak: Step by Step](https://emergencyleakexpertslondon.co.uk/how-it-works): What happens when you call for a leak: what to have ready, what the engineer asks, the sequence on site, a leak that is not yours and how the quote works. - [No Find No Fee Leak Detection: Where It Starts and Stops](https://emergencyleakexpertslondon.co.uk/no-find-no-fee): When the detection fee is waived, when a located leak is charged and when ruling a leak out is charged, with a worked scenario for each of the three outcomes. - [Emergency Leak Detection London Areas: What Is Covered](https://emergencyleakexpertslondon.co.uk/areas): Emergency leak detection covers all of London, available 24/7.
