More information about Leak Diverter Kits


Are leaking ceilings in your workplace becoming a big problem? Would you prefer a better solution than placing buckets all around the floors? If so, then our Leak Diverters are the perfect solution!

What is a Leak Diverter?

A leak diverter is a simple tool to capture leaks from a ceiling, keeping water safely away from the floors, machinery or from work desks. Simply hang the funnel tarp from the roof using our adjustable straps - any leaks will then be captured and diverted into a storage container through a hose.

Our Leak Diverter Kits are convenient by nature. Whether it's the office, warehouse or machine shop, the leak diverter can be installed quickly to contain leaks before they become more problematic.

Connect the hose supplied with the kit to the fitting in the centre of the funnel tarp, with the other end to the plastic storage drum, where leaks will be contained until emptied.

The storage drum can be positioned out of the way of passing footfall, significantly reducing the risk of slip and trip accidents.

Why use our Leak Diverters?

Our leak diverters provide a welcome alternative to unsightly – and unsafe – buckets and collection pots. Not only could these provide a trip hazard, but they also give off a less-than-professional image.

Dripping water can also cause a problem for machinery and electrical equipment, leading to expensive repairs or replacements being needed. With the leak diverter in place, anything underneath the leak can be protected for as long as it is needed.

Leak Diverter Kit in Office


A leak diverter is only intended to be used as a temporary solution whilst roof repairs are carried out, but as this can often take a long time, it is beneficial to use a leak diverter as a safer and more effective solution than placing buckets on the floor or ignoring leaks altogether.

Choosing the right Leak Diverter for you

For your convenience and a faster response to leaking ceilings, we offer complete Leak Diverter Kits containing all of the components needed to deal with leaks as quickly as possible.

The full Leak Diverter Kit contains the following;

  • A strong waterproof tarp with eyelets and adjustable straps for easy hanging, with a central Hozelock point for water collection
  • You’ll also receive an 80L reservoir drum
  • 5m hose, ensuring you can safely channel any water into the drum without it being in the way of those using the area.
  • Adjustable straps for quick and easy installation of your leak diverter

Depending on the spread of the leak, you’ll also have a variety of sizes to choose from when it comes to the diverter tarp, ranging from 100cm x 100cm to 300cm x 300cm. It also comes in 2 colour options; white if you’d like it to be discreet or yellow if you want to draw attention to the hazard.
