Exposed pipe or joint
Note the exact fitting, whether the water is constant and whether a nearby fixture changes it.
Leak repair enquiry
Describe where the water appears—not where you think it began.
Leaks can show at a pipe or fitting, or travel before becoming visible. The first useful step is to record the visible location, nearby fixtures and when the water changes.
Choose the visible pattern
What kind of leak context can you see?
Water around a fixture
Record the tap, toilet, basin, bath or shower and what was being used when the water appeared.
Dampness with no clear source
Describe the first damp patch, the rooms nearby and whether it is growing. Avoid opening walls or ceilings.
A focused leak enquiry includes
- Area or postcode in Finchley
- Room and first visible point
- Steady, intermittent or use-related water
- Nearby plumbing fixtures
- A close and wider photo where safe
