In today’s built environment, leak detection is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. Whether you're managing a commercial plant room, a luxury apartment block, or a data centre with backup fuel systems, undetected leaks can lead to catastrophic damage, regulatory breaches, and costly downtime.

At BTS Leak Detection, we specialise in designing and installing intelligent leak detection systems that protect your assets, ensure compliance, and give you peace of mind.


💧 The Hidden Cost of Undetected Leaks

Water, refrigerant, fuel, and chemical leaks often start small—but their impact can be enormous:

• Structural damage to walls, floors, and foundations

• Mould growth and air quality issues

• Fire and explosion risks from refrigerants or fuels

• Environmental contamination and legal liability

• Insurance claims denied due to lack of monitoring

• BREEAM credits lost due to non-compliance

Leak detection isn’t just about spotting a problem—it’s about preventing one.


🧠 Smart Systems for Smarter Buildings

Our systems use advanced technologies from Aquilar, including:

• TraceTek sensor cables that pinpoint leak locations to within 1 metre

• AquiTron multi-zone panels for water, refrigerant, and chemical monitoring

• Integration with BMS and SCADA for automated alerts and shut-off

• Remote notifications via SMS or email for 24/7 protection

Whether you need a single-zone water alarm or a multi-site refrigerant monitoring network, we tailor every system to your building’s layout, risk profile, and regulatory requirements.


⚖️ Compliance You Can Count On

We help clients meet key UK and EU standards, including:

• BS EN378:2016 for refrigeration safety

• F-Gas Regulations for refrigerant leak control

• BREEAM Pol 01 for water leak detection credits

• COMAH and Pollution Control for chemical and fuel containment

Our documentation supports audits, insurance claims, and environmental reporting—giving you confidence in every installation.


🏗️ Real-World Results

From hotel HVAC systems to bunded fuel tanks in data centres, our portfolio includes:

• Leak detection in luxury homes with underfloor heating
