    Looking for some leak detection advice

    I'm having an issue with corroded pipes at my gaff. I've narrowed it down to this specifically as me and the wife noticed a leak a few days back coming through our garden tiles. I knew that a couple water pipes ran through there which are linked to my spout (to attach tools for watering the grass etc). The top of this pipe has mild corrosion to my theory is this is affecting the pipe somewhere further down, with guesses it's in a worse state.
    I'm familiar with piping and similar, and for now have turned off that area with regards to water flow. Does anyone know of anyone I can contact in the Belfast area who might be able to offer some advice, or come round and use the proper gear to fix it. Thanks

    Um, you realise this lot are either computer contractors or retired? (Though there is a surveyor too IIRC).

        True: me, for one as an Electronics Engineer, and, by some coincidence, I worked for Reten Acoustics/Palmer Environmental/whatever the feck they're called these days: water leakage detection apparatus design & manufacture.

        Here we are: HWM something.

        The only place I've ever seen a live death watch beetle.

        Feck me, it's now right next to the plod HQ. There's really tidy then. And the car parking is still as crap as it was. Another tuliphole I was very glad to leave. I wonder if they used my translation of the French sewer test spec.

        And Cooper whatever it was (Fire detection) is now Eaton.

        All change in Cwmbran.

        I wonder where my mate went.
