In the kitchen under the cupboards, behind the kickbacks there is water on the ground, I've used a towel to remove the water but it comes back. It doesn't appear to get any higher than the tiles in the kitchen.

I've asked a plumber but they won't be coming til Monday.

What is the price range that this could cost from worst case to best case?

    Get a few quotes....Have you tried tightening all the fittings yourself? That's usually what it is...the hot weather causes the pipe to expand and contract loosening the fittings.

    A good plumber will just tighten them up for you...testing them before leaving. A not so good one will say something about frozen pipes in winter caused cracks in them and then offer to replace all the pipes and connections and charge you through the nose for it. Unless you can physically see the cracks or bulges in the pipe then that isn't it.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
