Onsite Mechanical Seal Replacement – Leicester Apartment Block
Location: Leicester
Service: Mechanical Seal Replacement & Pump Repair
Sector: Residential / Facilities Management
The Challenge
Our engineers were called to a Leicester apartment block after the onsite cleaner discovered water leaking from the plant room.
Upon inspection, the NT Cloke team quickly diagnosed the issue — one of the system pumps had a failed mechanical seal, allowing water to escape and pool across the floor.
With the system critical to the building’s water supply, a fast, efficient response was essential to minimise downtime and disruption to residents.
Our Solution
To restore full operation, our engineers:
- Isolated and drained the affected pump
- Stopped the active leak and wet-vacced the plant room
- Sourced a replacement seal overnight to prevent extended downtime
- Completed a full onsite strip-down, seal replacement and reassembly the next day
✅ Leak isolated and contained
✅ New mechanical seal fitted
✅ Pump fully tested and recommissioned
The Result
The system was back online and fully operational within 24 hours — both pumps now running efficiently and leak-free.
By acting quickly, NT Cloke prevented further water damage, maintained building services, and delivered another smooth, stress-free repair for our client.
Why It Matters
Mechanical seal failures are a common cause of leaks and system downtime in commercial and residential plant rooms.
With prompt action and specialist expertise, NT Cloke Pumps & Water can repair, replace and recommission pumps onsite — ensuring minimal disruption and maximum reliability.
