Water Leak and Leaking Pipe Repair
A dripping joint or sudden pipe leak needs a practical response before damage spreads. Pro Plumbers repairs water leaks across Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and nearby villages.
ABOUT THIS SERVICE
Repairing leaks without overlooking the cause
Water appearing under a sink, beside a radiator or through a ceiling does not always reveal where the leak began. Pro Plumbers checks the symptoms and accessible pipework to establish the source before recommending a repair. We deal with leaking pipes, joints and valves, explaining when access to a concealed section may be needed. Our team has traded for 15 years and includes owner David alongside Sam, Mikey, Ted, Jamie and Neil. We aim to stop the immediate problem and leave you with a clear explanation of the work, rather than merely hiding evidence of the leak. The minimum charge is £90 + VAT including the first hour on site; bigger jobs receive a fixed, no-obligation price. Completed workmanship carries a 1-year guarantee, and we discuss any additional work separately before it goes ahead.

OUR PROCESS
How It Works
01
Limit the damage safely
If you can safely reach and operate the water stopcock, isolate the supply. Tell us where water is appearing and whether it is still flowing.
02
Identify the source
We inspect accessible fittings and trace the likely route of the leak, explaining any access needed before proceeding.
03
Repair and recheck
We repair the agreed section or fitting and check for leakage once the water supply is restored appropriately.
BENEFITS

Clear agreement
Charges and any necessary access are explained, with a 1-year workmanship guarantee on completed repairs.
What to do when a pipe starts leaking
If water is escaping steadily, isolate the supply at the stopcock if you can do so safely and without forcing a seized valve. Keep clear of water near sockets, wiring or electrical appliances, and seek appropriate electrical help if those areas are affected. Do not touch wet electrical equipment. A container under a safe, accessible drip may limit damage while you arrange help, but it does not replace finding and repairing the source.
Tell us whether the leak changes when a tap, shower or appliance runs. Water that appears only during use can point towards a waste connection, while other leaks may continue with everything switched off. These observations help us prepare without asking you to dismantle anything. If a ceiling is bulging or looks unstable, keep people away from the area below rather than standing beneath it to inspect the damage.
Visible leaks and concealed pipework
An exposed joint under a basin can often be inspected directly. Pipework beneath a floor or behind a panel may require access before the fault can be confirmed. We explain the proposed access and discuss the limits of the plumbing work. Do not assume that repainting, replastering or replacement floor finishes are included in a pipe repair; the agreed scope should make clear what is and is not covered.
Water can travel along pipes, joists and other surfaces before becoming visible. A stain directly below a bathroom does not by itself identify which fitting has failed. We consider nearby supply and waste connections and ask about when the mark first appeared. Finding the actual source matters because sealing an unrelated surface or replacing a convenient fitting may leave the original leak continuing out of sight.
Lasting repairs and sensible follow-up
Depending on the defect, the appropriate repair may involve renewing a joint, replacing a valve or changing a damaged section of pipe. We consider the condition of adjacent pipework rather than assuming the smallest visible patch is always enough. If deterioration appears more extensive, we explain the options and price the larger work separately, so you can decide with an understanding of the likely scope and disruption.
After the repair, the affected area may still need time to dry and any damaged finishes may need separate attention. We explain what has been repaired and what signs would justify another call. Pro Plumbers is based at 11 Lime Tree Walk, Sevenoaks TN13 1YH. Call 01732 444555 Monday to Friday, 7am–10pm, or Saturday to Sunday, 9am–8pm. For an active leak, tell us its severity when booking so we can discuss the next available attendance.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I turn off the water?
If an active supply leak is causing damage and the stopcock is safely accessible, isolate the water without forcing the valve. Keep away from affected electrics.
Can you repair a pipe behind a wall?
We can assess concealed pipework, but access may be necessary. We explain that requirement and the repair scope before opening up an area.
Is the wet patch always below the leak?
No. Water can travel before showing on a ceiling or wall. We investigate the source rather than assuming the stain identifies it.
Are decorating repairs included?
Do not assume they are. We explain the agreed plumbing scope and whether any making-good work needs arranging separately.
What does the first visit cost?
The minimum charge is £90 + VAT including the first hour on site. Bigger jobs receive a fixed, no-obligation price.
