Cheshire
In short
Nantwich Georgian and half-timbered properties often go through Ecclesiastical Insurance, and rural CW5 farmhouses through NFU Mutual — the reporting templates are different and the trace has to identify system type before either engages.
Incoming mains typically 3.0–4.0 bar across CW5. Rural CW5 farmhouses often on private supply.
Every report we send in Nantwich prints the incoming static and dynamic pressure at the stopcock alongside the cause statement — pressure is often half the leak story and adjusters want to see it.
Nantwich leak-trace work is a mix of Georgian listed-property traces (Ecclesiastical reporting), rural CW5 farmhouse traces (NFU Mutual, private supply, septic drainage), and Wybunbury/Willaston newer-estate push-fit failures.
Common Nantwich insurers: NFU Mutual on rural farmhouses, Ecclesiastical on Georgian listed properties, Aviva elsewhere.
Nantwich insurers want system type in the header — Ecclesiastical asks for building-fabric impact on Georgian properties, NFU Mutual asks for supply/drainage system type on farmhouses.
Every insurance-friendly report includes: date and address, incoming static and dynamic pressure readings (bar), thermal-imaging screenshots with location markers, acoustic-tracer transcript, dye-test results where applicable, non-invasive access method used, engineer name and qualification, and a plain-English cause statement. Delivered as a single PDF within 48 hours.
£185–£380 for a non-invasive trace and report; £520–£880 for Georgian listed or farmhouse investigation.
Every price is confirmed in writing after the £50 diagnostic. Nothing beyond the trace itself starts without your approval, and the £50 is refunded if the leak can't be located non-invasively.
A rural CW5 pattern is quoting mains-standard repair on private-supply pipework — different fittings, different ratings. Insist on a system-type-identifying report.
Our promise on every Nantwich leak-detection call-out: £50 to attend, log pressure and run the first non-invasive trace; an insurance-friendly PDF report within 48 hours; and refund of the £50 if the leak can't be located non-invasively.
"Listed timber-framed townhouse. Previous plumbers had said it was 'impossible' to fit a modern boiler. KJ specced a rear elevation flue with conservation, routed pipework through the pantry — beautiful clean install."

"Underfloor manifold on our new build had been leaking slowly for months. Isolated, replaced the failed actuator, re-balanced the loops. Written report I could send to the developer."
— Peter M., Stapeley · UFH manifold repair, Stapeley
"Rural oil boiler stopped firing in December. Diagnosed a stuck solenoid, cleaned, replaced the nozzle, back on within the hour. Fair honest quote and no upsell."
