We're not just another Kent leak detection company - we know Aldington specifically. From period cottages along The Street to modern developments near Harts Hill, from converted barns around Court Lodge to farmhouses off Roman Road, we've detected leaks in every type of property across TN25. Our 15 years serving Kent means we understand Aldington's unique property challenges: aging infrastructure in the village center, rural water supply issues, and the particular leak patterns in Romney Marsh properties. Whether you're 5 minutes from St Martin's Church or out towards Bilsington, we reach you quickly with technology that pinpoints leaks without digging up your Aldington property.
The historic heart of Aldington along The Street and around St Martin's Church contains the village's oldest properties. These Grade II listed cottages and period homes from the 16th-18th centuries present specific leak challenges we've mastered over 15 years serving Kent villages.
Properties we serve on The Street: From Aldington Primary School down past The Walnut Tree pub towards Court Lodge Farm, we've detected leaks in period cottages with original features, converted coach houses, and Victorian additions to medieval cores.
Common leak issues in central Aldington:
Our thermal imaging technology works through thick stone walls and original timbers without damaging heritage features. One listed cottage opposite the church had a concealed leak we located using acoustic detection - saving the owner £6,500 in unnecessary excavation that would have damaged original flagstones. The repair cost just £850 with our 12 months warranty providing peace of mind.
Heading north from the village center along Roman Road towards Harts Hill, properties become more spread out with larger gardens and rural characteristics. This 2km stretch from The Street to Harts Hill junction includes everything from detached 1960s-80s homes to converted agricultural buildings.
Key locations we cover: Properties along Roman Road from village boundary to Ashford Road junction, Harts Hill residential properties, and rural homes with septic tanks or package treatment plants.
Typical leak scenarios in north Aldington:
Distance from our Kent base: 18-minute response time. One Roman Road property had consistently high water bills despite normal usage - our acoustic equipment traced an underground leak 40m along their private drive, saving them £450 monthly in wasted water. Detection cost £495, repair £1,200, avoiding the £5,000+ excavation quote they'd received from a local builder.
Southern Aldington transitions into Romney Marsh proper, with properties along roads heading towards Bonnington. This low-lying area presents unique challenges from high water tables and marsh conditions affecting foundations and drainage.
Areas covered: Properties on roads towards Bonnington, isolated farmhouses, bungalows built on reclaimed marshland, and weekend retreats converted from agricultural use.
Romney Marsh-specific leak issues:
Our thermal imaging can differentiate between environmental moisture and active leaks - vital in marsh properties where damp is common. One bungalow owner near Bonnington Road was quoted £8,000 for damp treatment when our survey revealed an actual plumbing leak behind bathroom tiles costing just £680 to repair. Our 12 months warranty gave them confidence the real problem was solved.
Eastern Aldington extends towards Bilsington and the A20 corridor. Properties here range from village edge developments to isolated rural homes, with some enjoying views across the marsh towards the escarpment.
Coverage includes: Properties along lanes heading east from The Street, rural homes between Aldington and Bilsington (approximately 2km stretch), and properties near the A20 junction.
Common problems in east Aldington:
Response time from A20: 15 minutes maximum. Modern properties often have complex heating systems where pressure drops indicate leaks but locations remain hidden. Our pressure isolation testing identifies which circuit has problems before deploying thermal cameras - completing detection in 2-3 hours versus days of speculation. From £395 for thermal surveys compared to £4,000+ for lifting all floors.
Western Aldington around Court Lodge and heading towards Smeeth includes substantial period properties, working farms, and converted agricultural buildings. This historic area requires specialist knowledge of older building construction and rural water systems.
Key areas: Court Lodge vicinity, properties along lanes west of The Street, farmhouses with multiple outbuildings, and barn conversions in rural settings.
Leak detection challenges in west Aldington:
One Court Lodge area farmhouse had a mysterious leak causing subsidence - our acoustic survey traced it to a broken main 80m from the house under their access lane. Traditional excavation would have meant digging the entire lane at £12,000+. Our precise location allowed targeted repair costing £2,800 with full lane reinstatement. With 15 years serving Kent rural properties, we understand these complex scenarios and provide our 12 months warranty on all findings.
Aldington isn't like suburban Kent - it's a rural Romney Marsh village with distinct challenges requiring local expertise. We've spent 15 years understanding how location affects leak detection across Kent villages like Aldington.
Romney Marsh water table considerations: The marsh's high water table means underground leaks can create different symptoms than in typical properties. Water doesn't necessarily flow away - it can pool, creating damp areas far from the actual leak source. Our thermal imaging tracks temperature trails through ground moisture to find the real problem.
Historic building construction in Aldington village: Period properties along The Street feature stone walls 60cm+ thick, original timber frames, and layers of construction from different centuries. Standard moisture meters can't penetrate these materials - only specialist thermal cameras see through to identify concealed leaks. We've detected leaks behind 400-year-old timber panels without any invasive investigation.
Rural water supply infrastructure: Unlike urban areas with mains pressure, many Aldington properties have long underground supply runs from road mains. A leak anywhere along 50-100m of buried pipe wastes huge amounts of water while remaining invisible. Our acoustic correlation technology traces these hidden leaks to within 30cm accuracy - saving thousands in excavation costs.
Generic leak detection companies don't understand Aldington's specifics. They arrive, use basic equipment, and often miss leaks or mistake environmental moisture for plumbing problems. Our 15 years serving Kent means we know immediately what we're dealing with.
We recognize Aldington property types instantly:
This knowledge means we bring the right equipment first time, complete surveys faster (typically 2-3 hours vs all day), and provide accurate diagnosis immediately. One Roman Road property owner told us a previous company had spent 6 hours investigating, found nothing, and charged £800 - we located their leak in 90 minutes with thermal imaging for £395.
Distance matters for same-day service: We're based in Kent, never more than 20 minutes from Aldington. When you call 0800 916 8602 before 2pm, we can typically attend same day. London-based companies quote 2-3 day waits and charge travel time - we're local, we're quick, and we understand YOUR specific Aldington property challenges backed by our 12 months warranty.
Our professional thermal cameras detect temperature variations caused by escaping water - whether hot from heating systems or cold from mains supply. This technology sees through Aldington's thick stone walls, timber frames, and modern insulation without any damage.
Perfect for Aldington property types: Period cottages where invasive investigation risks heritage features, barn conversions with complex structures, and modern homes where pipes run in screeds or behind fitted units. We've used thermal imaging on properties throughout The Street, Roman Road, and rural locations - detecting leaks invisible to traditional methods.
Cost from £395 for comprehensive thermal survey. Compare this to £4,000-£8,000 for speculative excavation in historic properties requiring restoration afterward. Our 12 months warranty guarantees accuracy.
Pressurized water escaping from pipes creates specific sound frequencies. Our acoustic equipment hears these sounds through concrete, soil, and tarmac - essential for Aldington's long underground supply pipes serving rural properties.
Ideal for: Underground leaks from road mains to properties along Roman Road and private lanes, supply pipe failures in driveways and gardens, and concealed heating pipes beneath Aldington's solid floors. Acoustic detection pinpoints leaks to within 30cm - allowing targeted repair.
From £495 for acoustic surveys. One Harts Hill property had a leak somewhere along an 80m underground pipe - our acoustic correlation located it precisely, saving them £7,000+ in digging up their entire drive.
We isolate different parts of your plumbing system and test each section's pressure. Pressure drops confirm leaks before we deploy location technology - saving investigation time and your money.
Essential in Aldington's larger properties with multiple bathrooms, commercial premises in the village, and farms with extensive water systems. Pressure testing quickly identifies which area has problems without guesswork.
Especially important in Romney Marsh properties where environmental moisture is common. Our meters quantify moisture levels, helping distinguish between condensation, rising damp, rainwater penetration, and actual plumbing leaks.
Critical for accurate diagnosis: Many Aldington properties naturally retain moisture due to marsh location. Without proper moisture mapping, you risk expensive damp treatments when a simple leak repair would solve the problem - or worse, fixing a leak that doesn't exist while ignoring the real cause of dampness.
Our equipment is professional-grade, but it's our 15 years interpreting results across Kent properties like yours that delivers accuracy. We understand how Aldington buildings behave, what different readings mean in Romney Marsh conditions, and which technique suits each situation. Every detection includes our 12 months warranty - if we're wrong, we return free. In 15 years, our warranty claim rate is under 3%.

The Problem: Grade II listed cottage near St Martin's Church developed mysterious damp patches on ground floor walls. Three different damp specialists recommended £8,000-£12,000 in remedial work including chemical injection and replastering. The homeowner was concerned about heritage implications.
Our Investigation: Thermal imaging survey (£395) immediately showed a cold line behind the apparent damp - indicating an active water leak rather than rising damp. The thermal camera tracked the cold through the thick stone wall to a concealed pipe junction behind Victorian tongue-and-groove paneling in the hallway.
The Solution: We marked the exact location on the paneling. A conservation-approved carpenter carefully removed three boards, revealing the leaking compression joint exactly where indicated. Local plumber replaced the joint (£180), boards were refitted (£120), and the damp patches dried naturally within 3 weeks.
Results:
"They saved our cottage. The thermal camera showed exactly what was wrong - not rising damp at all, just a leaking pipe. The 12 months warranty gave us complete confidence, and they were right - perfectly dry now." - Mrs. H, The Street, Aldington
The Problem: Detached house 80m back from Roman Road experienced quarterly water bills jumping from £90 to £340. Visible inspection found nothing. The property has a long underground supply pipe from the road mains through their front garden and under the drive.
Our Investigation: Acoustic leak detection survey (£495) using correlation technology. We placed sensors at the road boundary and at the house, then used digital analysis to triangulate the leak position along the buried pipe. The acoustic signature indicated a leak approximately 35m from the road boundary.
The Solution: We marked the exact location in their front lawn. A local groundworks contractor excavated a 1m x 1m area at our marked spot (avoiding the drive completely), finding a split in the blue MDPE pipe exactly 34.8m from the boundary. New pipe section fitted with proper couplings (£850 including excavation and reinstatement).
Results:
"Astonishing accuracy. They said 35 meters, it was 34.8 meters! Saved us a fortune avoiding digging up the whole garden and drive. Water bill back to normal. Highly recommend calling 0800 916 8602 for anyone with high bills." - Mr. T, Roman Road, Aldington
