Water Leak Detection
Exceptional service, efficient and reliable detection
Underground water leaks can remain undetected for many years and are often difficult to find. They can also cause serious damage, resulting in costly repairs while escalating your water costs.
Although our preferred leak investigations are non-intrusive and non-destructive; we also offer a wide range of alternative options, with minimal disruptions.
Keltek leak detection engineers are professionally trained and have many years of experience, in accurately locating the source of leaks. Our leak detection teams are available nationwide.

We pride ourselves on commencing projects in a timely manner and keeping you informed throughout the progress of the work. The vast majority of jobs are completed on time – but sometimes “getting it right” means the work might take a bit more time.
We are both able and happy to price any sized project and will bring the same level of enthusiasm and professionalism to any job, no matter how large or small.
Network Renewals

Lead Replacement
-
We are committed to protecting our precious water resource and are focussed on removing lead supply pipes, which are damaging to health and the environment. We are working across the United Kingdom providing this service for customers of major water companies.
-
Why Replace Lead?
- Improved drinking water quality – lead is a toxic metal that can leach into drinking water from lead pipes, which can cause a range of serious health problems, particularly in children, including developmental delays, learning difficulties, and stunted growth.
- Increased water pressure – old lead pipes can become damaged over time, creating blockages, leaks, and low water pressure. Replacing these pipes can ensure a steady and reliable supply of water.
- Enhanced home value – replacing lead pipes can increase the overall value of your home, especially if you’re planning on selling it in the future.
- Lower maintenance costs – lead pipes are prone to corrosion and damage, which can result in costly repairs and maintenance. Replacing them can prevent future damage and save you money in the long run.
- Environmental protection – recycling lead pipes and replacing them with non-toxic materials is an environmentally responsible way to protect our planet and preserve natural resources.
- Improved drinking water quality – lead is a toxic metal that can leach into drinking water from lead pipes, which can cause a range of serious health problems, particularly in children, including developmental delays, learning difficulties, and stunted growth.
Over the last two and a half years, we have replaced lead pipes in over 1,000 homes in the central England area.
We are now offering this service throughout the whole of England, Scotland and Wales.
If you have any lead pipes on your property, connecting your home to the water mains supply; we can replace them with new industry standard 25mm plastic pipe, from the point of entry into your home, to the external stop tap in the street.
The length of pipe from the external stop tap to the mains is the responsibility of the water company and will usually be replaced by them, at no cost.
The first stage of the process is a survey to establish the route of any existing lead pipe and to plan the route of any pipe replacement.
Once you have agreed to this plan, we will liaise with both the water company and the local authority to ensure the work progresses in a coordinated manner and with minimum disruption.
We pride ourselves in the high quality of our reinstatement.How to find out if you have lead pipes
You can check if you have lead water pipes in a few simple steps.
Before you begin, you will need:
- a coin
- safety glasses
- a facemask
First, find your main water pipe. This is usually under your kitchen sink, by your downstairs toilet, or in a cupboard under the stairs.
Check the colour of the pipe. If it’s a brownish colour, it may be copper. If it’s a dull grey, it’s likely to be lead.
If the pipe looks swollen at the joints, that’s another sign it’s lead. If the pipe is dull grey or swollen, make sure you put your safety glasses and facemask on before you do anything else.
Next, use the coin to gently scrape the pipe. If the scratches are a shiny silver colour underneath, it’s a lead pipe.
