I give the highest recommendation to Anthony. He came out at 7.30pm on a Sunday to help identify and repair a leak from a shower area. He had a complex job trying to find the hidden leak and had to cut several inspection holes. He found 4 leaks that had been dripping for some time and has repaired pipe work, and carried out remedial work. I give the highest recommendation to Anthony, he is clean, efficient and a true Gentleman. Thank you Anthony we really appreciate you staying so late and commendation for your persistence in finding our problem even though you must have been so tired. We are truly grateful.

Top Leak Detection related questions

Costs vary when booking moisture leak detectors. This may depend on how severe the leak is. Generally, you can expect prices to fall between £550 and £1,200. Using tracer gas to detect leaks can bring your total costs even higher. 

There are basic checks to pull a DIY leak detection, such as monitoring your water meter. However, working with an expert with years of proven experience helps ensure a more accurate detection. 

You can trust that Taskers will always prioritise non-invasive methods, although there may be some cases when digging will be required to access the leak. Inform your Tasker if you’d like to keep disruptions at a minimum so they can come up with possible compromises.

Absolutely! Catching leaks early on prevents you from having to spend a lot on repairing structural damage. It also allows you to keep your property intact for more years to come.

This is on a case-to-case basis. If your Tasker will perform tests like tracer gas leak detection, you may have to turn off the water temporarily. Discuss this with your Tasker to get expert advice on how to prepare ahead of time. 

Small leaks may seem harmless, but they can quickly escalate and cause extensive damage and even mould. If you ignore them, you may end up with more repair work than what’s initially necessary. (If this does happen to you, feel free to book a mould removal expert on Airtasker!)

It’s best to work with professionals when drying your property. You can ask your moisture leak detector if they offer this as an additional service or if they can recommend specialists who use industrial dehumidifiers and issue certificates of dryness.

Plumbing Repair – Kitchen Sink Leak

£45

Shepherd's Bush, Greater London

21st Feb 2025

Task: Plumbing Repair & Bosch Dishwasher Issue I need a plumber to fix a leak under my kitchen sink that occurs when the washing machine is running. I believe the issue might be due to some adjustments I made to the pipes recently. Please refer to the attached photos for a better understanding of the situation. Additionally, my new Bosch dishwasher has been installed but is showing an E:61 error. Please see my other task under my profile for further details regarding the dishwasher issue. If possible, it would be great if the same person could handle both tasks. I will pay separately for each job. Thank you!

I am extremely pleased with Joshua's service! He promptly fixed the leak under my kitchen sink that occurred when the washing machine was running. The issue was due to adjustments I'd made to the pipes, and he resolved it efficiently. Additionally, he addressed the error on my new Bosch dishwasher, getting it running flawlessly. It was fantastic to have someone who could handle both tasks professionally.
