Pricing & Cost Guide

DOMESTIC & RESIDENTIAL RATE CARD (2026)

​​

At Leakfind, we believe you should know what a leak detection or plumbing repair will cost before we arrive, not after.

WHAT AFFECTS THE COST

Every quote is built from the same rate card above, but a few factors change the final number: your area or zone (town, seaboard, deep south, remote, etc.), whether the job falls in normal hours or after-hours/weekends, the type of work (leak detection vs. plumbing repair, which are billed at different hourly rates), and how long the job takes on site once the first hour is covered. Industrial and large commercial properties are priced differently, explained below.

​

INDUSTRIAL AND LARGE PROPERTY QUOTES

This pricelist is for domestic and residential leak detection and plumbing repairs. For industrial and large property leak detections we first do a site visit, which is only a call-out to establish the amount of gas and time we need to spend on site. After completion of the site visit we will provide the client with a quote. Any repair and remedial work is quoted separately.

​

GETTING A TRANSPARENT QUOTE

For domestic and residential work, use the rate card above to know what to expect before we arrive. For industrial and large properties, book a site-visit call-out and we will follow up with a formal quote once we have assessed the job, with any repairs quoted separately.
