I contracted Allpropropertyclaims (an associated company of Leak Tracers Direct) to handle my claim with my Insurers. APC met with me, the loss adjuster and independent surveyor and ensured that I was aware of the scope of works required. APC negotiated on my behalf with my Insurers and when my claim was agreed arranged for the works to be carried out. The entire ground floor of my house was water damaged and the scope of work included asbestos removal, drying works, removal of wall and floor tiles in my kitchen, hallway, downstairs toilet and storage cupboards; hacking off plaster and removal of lower kitchen cupboards and worksurface. Once the drying work was completed APC arranged for the reinstatement works to be carried out. The work was carried out by Remi and overall I was pleased; I identified a couple snagging issues and APC arranged for these to be put right to my satisfaction. The water damage to my house was substantial and having APC negotiate with my Insurers ensured that my Insurers adequately covered the work needed. I would recommend the company especially if you are not confident about the scope of work required and negotiating with your Insurers.

They first found the leak, very helpful. They presented to claim to our insurance and got everything agreed. they then appointed the contractor who fixed all the damages. Thank you to the claims team for all your help, you were very quick and polite. The team who did the works were also very good, left a good finish and was high quality work.

They found my leak under my kitchen units - which was very hard to find. There was a lot of damage so they got in touch with my insurer to agree cost of repair works. The contracts manager who arranged the work was excellent.

Convenient, but questionable practices & bad customer service when things went wrong
Customer Service

* I contacted LTD for a possible leak in my flat; their leak detector identified and excavated the leak. * Note that LTD, aka AllPropertyClaims (APC), don’t do the leak detection themselves; the detector is a separate entity * APC manages the aftermath of the leak. This was well organised and convenient. APC manage the claim, do the drying, move furniture out, then do the repairs. Note that it is in their interest to maximise the scale of the works, which can impact the future premium. * My experience with APC during this period was OK, but not flawless. E.g. they initially missed identifying an area that the leak had affected. Another e.g: their drying engineer installed a faulty dehumidifier; when I informed him of this he said to switch it off, but to switch it back on when the loss adjuster came for his visit. * The quality of the repair works was OK * After works completed, I noticed a problem with the new floor. APC suspected another leak, and their leak detector diagnosed a leak under the floor, which he again excavated, at my cost. As it turned out, there was no leak under the floor, he had made an error. * I was left out of pocket with a damaged floor, but APC sought to avoid responsibility for the unsatisfactory works and leak detection. Bad customer service and unsavoury tactics followed (e.g. threatening to charge fees if I contacted them) until we resolved the dispute months later.

It was obvious from the smell of damp that I had water penetration downstairs in my house but it was not clear where the leak was located. My insurers advised me to engage a leak and trace company and I contacted Leak Assist. On 6/4/21, Yany and a colleague arrived at the agreed time. They were very thorough trying to locate the leak; using various equipment and identifying high moisture readings in several locations. After a battery of tests, it became clear the source of the leak did not emanate from within my house. Yany suggested my neighbour’s house might be the source of the leak and he was proved right. Despite the leak not being in my property, I still believe Leak Assist were invaluable in me being able to identifying where the leak was coming from. Their comprehensive report, including photographs of the damage and moisture readings were invaluable with regard to my insurance claim. I would use their services again should I be in the unfortunate position of having a future leak.

I contracted with Leak Tracers Direct to identify the source of a leak in my bathroom. They came around and quickly found and confirmed the leak through using remote cameras and dye tracing. After the initial report, they then visited again to remove tiling and expose the leak so it could be fixed by a plumber. The contractors who came to site were polite and completed their work efficiently and neatly, also taking the time to explain their findings to me and show me evidence via the video feed from the camera. Communication from the office was good and they responded to all my queries quickly. I did not contract with them for works beyond the leak identification and exposure, but this part was done well.

Good service, but understand how it works

This is a useful service, which really helped us with an awkward leak in our kitchen. They handled the whole claim with the insurer and arranged for contractors to dry and repair our downstairs. They were skilled at assessing the repairs needed, and knew what the insurer would cover. Unless you're experienced at dealing with insurers, this is really valuable. But you do also lose a little in control - they will choose contractors and manage the repair project. In our experience, this was done efficiently enough, but probably not quite as quickly as it could have been (e.g. our replacement flooring wasn't ordered until work was ready to begin, and delivery issues then delayed work unnecessarily). Communications with the office were clear and efficient, though their assessor was far too aggressive for our taste when dealing with the insurer (we didn't expect a stand-up row in our living room). Their contractors were competent and very efficient, though not top quality - they repainted our kitchen, living room, hall & landing in 1 day. Impressive, but leaving a few more marks on woodwork/missed spots than a pro decorator. Overall that worked ok for us - we wanted our house back quickly. The leak detection part of the service was skilled and effective. We had originally tried a local plumber, but they couldn't locate the leak on two visits. LTD located the problem quickly using a gas system and returned soon after to dig out the leaking pipe (which was buried in concrete).

I contacted LeakTracersDirect after a shower leak during the first Covid lockdown had caused extensive damage in my flat. LeakTracersDirect handled the claim efficiently, and I'm full of admiration for their patience and perseverance, as the insurer they had to deal with was taking a lot of time to settle the claim, and definitely not easy to deal with. Communication was good and transparent. LeakTracersDirect kept me in the picture with regular updates, which helped keep my mind at ease. The work was finished to high standards, and I absolutely recommend their services, as they are true professionals.
