Leaky Home Repairs

Leak Detection specialises in repairing leaky homes and renovating residential properties. After a Leaky Home assessment has taking place we then consult with the owners to discuss their options based on the reports. Once the decision has been made to repair the leaky home, we then investigate the best form of repair to achieve maximum results

Leak Detection works along side industry professionals such as architects, draughtsmen, engineers and builders who are all qualified and experienced in leaky building repairs. If certain re-design aspects are needed to minimise future risk, we take this into consideration before we proceed further. We then arrange working drawings and tender the project to three different builders to get a competitive price for the repairs. Although this is a great way to get the best price available, all prices are only estimates at this stage of the process.

Leak Detection is well aware of the financial strain of repairing a leaky home and that’s why we offer detailed quotes with a full break down of costs. Depending on the project a fixed price can be offered to assure home owners there are no hidden costs. It’s a well known fact renovations can go over budget, and leaky home repairs are generally worse! That’s why it’s important to get comprehensive reports with detailed working drawings and specifications to achieve accurate pricing.

Once a builder has been chosen then a contract is signed and a programme is set. In some cases it is possible for residence to live in the buildings whilst they’re being repaired, but in most cases it is more realistic for the home owners to move out, which is a healthier option as well. Leak Detection can help arrange temporary accommodation during this process if required.

Finance can often be the deciding factor between repairing a leaky home and leaving it. In our experience a lot of the major banks are hesitant to provide loans for leaky homes, how ever there are ways around this. Leak detection can help give the banks/financiers the confidence to lend towards the repairs or even offer a bridging finance till repairs are complete. Each case is different and Leak Detection will endeavour to find the best finance solution.

If a Leaky home owner sees an opportunity to renovate their home at the same time, leak detection can accommodate this decision.
