Pre-Purchase Plumbing Surveys 

Know What You’re Really Buying

Before you commit to your new home, it pays to know exactly what condition the plumbing and heating systems are in.


While mortgage surveys and building reports only skim the surface, a dedicated pre-purchase plumbing inspection from HARNCE gives you a clear view of the costs, risks and condition of what’s under the floorboards and behind the walls.



We’ve helped buyers across Lichfield, Burntwood, Rugeley, Tamworth and beyond make informed decisions — and avoid unexpected bills.

Highly Rated for Customer Service and Expertise

What’s Included in the Survey?

  • ✅ Visible pipework inspection (signs of age, corrosion or leaks)
  • ✅ Water pressure checks
  • ✅ Stopcock & isolation valve checks
  • ✅ Tap, toilet and waste pipe inspection
  • ✅ Boiler health assessment & history
  • ✅ Radiator checks for leaks and cold spots
  • ✅ Heating system pressure and configuration
  • ✅ Hot water cylinder condition (if applicable)
  • ✅ Basic drainage & waste flow checks
  • ✅ Advice on compliance and energy efficiency
  • ✅ Verbal summary on site + written report within 48 hours


We’ll also flag any issues that might not be urgent now — but could cost you later.

“We’d been losing boiler pressure for weeks and couldn’t figure out why. HARNCE came out, did a full inspection and used thermal imaging to pinpoint a hidden leak under the hallway floor — something two other companies missed completely. They explained everything clearly and sorted the repair with minimal disruption. Absolutely brilliant service from start to finish.”


— Debbie R., Tamworth

Why It’s Worth Doing:

  • Spot leaks, slow drains or ageing boilers early


  • Understand likely upgrade costs



  • Strengthen your negotiating position


  • Avoid unpleasant surprises after moving in


  • Clarify system types (e.g. pressurised vs open-vented)


  • Gain peace of mind from a qualified expert opinion


We’re not here to scare you out of buying — we’re here to

give you the facts, so you can plan properly.
