In a rented house, the bill and the pipe may not belong to the same person. - ### A soft, wet patch Damp ground over the pipe route, or a strip of grass greener than the rest.

View service Step by step ## How a leak is found and fixed 1. ### Meter test on the phone Close the internal stop tap and watch the meter. If it moves, the loss is on the buried pipe. 2. ### Check how it is supplied Semis and estate houses may share a pipe. We find out which stop tap serves which house. 3. ### Pinpoint Acoustic listening along the route, or tracer gas for quiet leaks on plastic pipe. 4. ### Report for owner and tenant Where the leak is, whose pipe it is on, and the repair options, in one report. Local knowledge ## Leak detection across Beeston's mixed housing Beeston’s housing is more varied than most of the county. [Wikipedia lists](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beeston,_Nottinghamshire) Victorian villas, 1930s semi-detached houses, council estates and the timber-framed semis of the Meadow Farm estate. That mix matters for leaks, because [Severn Trent says](https://www.stwater.co.uk/my-supply/tap-water/my-water-pipes/water-pipe-responsibility/) pre-1940s semis often share a supply pipe, and council estates were often built with one large pipe running along the backs of the houses. On a shared pipe, a leak can sit under a neighbour’s garden and still be partly your responsibility. So the first job on a call-out is working out how the house is supplied, before looking for the leak. The town also has a large rental market, and that adds a question most leak jobs don’t have: who pays? The supply pipe belongs to the property owner, even where it crosses someone else’s land, so the repair usually falls to the landlord. On a meter, though, the rising bill lands with whoever is paying the water, often the tenant. A written report showing where the leak was and when it was fixed settles both: the landlord knows what needs repairing, and the tenant has evidence for the bill. Once the repair is done, Severn Trent offers a one-off leakage allowance once the leak is repaired, covering up to 12 months or two bills based on actual meter readings. Age is the third issue. Homes built before 1970 may still have lead supply pipes, and the town’s older villas and pre-war semis fall in that range. If the leak turns out to be on lead pipe, the report says so. Replacing your side under Severn Trent‘s [Lead Replacement Scheme](https://www.stwater.co.uk/my-supply/tap-water/my-water-pipes/lead-replacement-scheme/) gets you a free new connection. From Beeston Rylands and Chilwell to Beeston North and the Meadow Farm estate, we check the pipe material on the day rather than assume it from the age of the house.

[How much leak detection costs in Nottingham](https://nottsleakdetection.co.uk/guide/leak-detection-cost/) has the sources. ### I rent my home. Who pays for a leak on the supply pipe? The supply pipe belongs to the property owner, so the repair usually falls to your landlord. Tell them in writing as soon as the meter test shows a leak. Who pays the extra water depends on your tenancy, and the leak report helps with both. ### Do Beeston's 1930s semis share a supply pipe? Some do. Severn Trent says pre-1940s semis often share one supply pipe, and council estates were often built with one pipe along the backs. Tracing the pipe on site is the only sure way to know. See [shared supply pipe leaks](https://nottsleakdetection.co.uk/shared-supply-pipe-leak/). ### Is the leak my problem or Severn Trent's? It depends where the leak is. Severn Trent owns the water main, the communication pipe, the boundary stop tap and the meter. You own the supply pipe from the boundary to the house. Report leaks on their side free on 0800 783 4444 (+448007834444). ### Can I claim back the water lost to a leak? Usually once. After a supply-pipe leak is repaired, Severn Trent offers a one-off leakage allowance once the leak is repaired, covering up to 12 months or two bills based on actual meter readings. See [how the Severn Trent leak allowance works](https://nottsleakdetection.co.uk/guide/severn-trent-leak-allowance/).
