Which Gateshead districts are covered for leak detection?
Leak detection covers Gateshead. The office team arranges visits and reports.
ADI Leak Detection Gateshead covers nine named places across NE8, NE9, NE10 and NE11, including the residential settings of Saltwell and Felling and the industrial setting of Team Valley. The office confirms arrangements for the property needing investigation.
Bensham, Saltwell and Teams are the named NE8 localities covered here. Saltwell Conservation Area contains documented Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses, a useful distinction when describing an older property. Those buildings sit within a wider town that also has flats and newer housing.
For a leak enquiry, explain whether the affected room is above another home, beside an adjoining house or over a ground floor. If access involves a shared entrance, mention that when arranging the survey. The conservation area's history does not establish the age or route of a particular water pipe.
- Bensham NE8
- Saltwell NE8
- Teams NE8
Deckham and Low Fell are the NE9 places in this coverage group. Tell the advisor which locality the property is in and whether the concern involves the incoming supply, heating circuit or a bathroom. Across Gateshead's built-up area, the 2021 Census records semi-detached and terraced houses as well as flats and detached homes.
That town-wide mix is a starting point for questions, not a description of every NE9 street. Details about extensions, converted rooms or a separate flat should come from the person responsible for the building.
- Deckham NE9
- Low Fell NE9
Felling is the named NE10 locality served by this Gateshead site. A postcode district alone does not describe the building or the part of its water system that needs checking. For a house, say where the internal stop tap and any visible damp are located. For a flat, explain which floor is affected and whether another property sits above it.
The Census confirms flats within the Gateshead built-up area, but the layout and access arrangements of a particular Felling property need to be established when booking.
- Felling NE10
Team Valley, Lobley Hill and Dunston form the NE11 group. Team Valley Trading Estate provides a documented industrial setting alongside the group's residential enquiries. Its historic development involved reclamation and changes to the River Team, so existing site plans are more useful than assumptions about a buried supply route.
For commercial premises, identify the person who can explain meter locations, separate units and areas with restricted access. At a home in Lobley Hill or Dunston, describe the rooms affected and any known changes to the plumbing.
- Team Valley NE11
- Lobley Hill NE11
- Dunston NE11

Should you call ADI Leak Detection Gateshead or Northumbrian Water?
Leaks on public land, and on Northumbrian Water’s side of the boundary stop tap, belong to Northumbrian Water and should be reported to them.
- Report a leak to Northumbrian Water on 0800 393 084, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, or online at nwl.co.uk.
- Leaks inside the property, and on your own supply pipe between the boundary and the house, are the owner’s responsibility, and that is the work we do.
- The report always says which side of the boundary the leak sits on, whoever books the visit.
