Leak to dry to treated, one company in Acton

Acton's housing stock ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Acton Central and South Acton to 1930s semis near West Acton and the post-war and modern flats built through the South Acton and Acton Gardens regeneration schemes. Many terraces have been split into flats with bathrooms stacked above one another, while older properties still carry original lead or cast-iron plumbing, both of which raise the risk of hidden leaks reaching ceilings below.

Areas of Acton we cover

We attend leaks right across Acton and its neighbourhoods, including:

Common leaks in Acton homes

Converted terraces with stacked bathrooms

Large numbers of Acton's Victorian and Edwardian terraces, particularly around South Acton and Acton Central, have been divided into flats. Bathrooms are often stacked directly above kitchens or living rooms in the flat below, so a failed shower tray seal or a slow pipe joint can soak through floorboards and plaster for weeks before it is noticed, causing damage in a property the leak did not originate in.

Flat-roofed extensions and rear additions

Many Acton terraces and semis, especially around West Acton and East Acton, have had single-storey kitchen or bathroom extensions added with flat felt or asphalt roofs. These coverings degrade over time, and perished flashing or split membranes let water track along joists and drop as a hidden leak inside the wall or ceiling below, often mistaken for condensation until the damage is well established.

Ageing plumbing in older housing stock

Properties near Acton Green and Acton Town retain original or mid-century pipework in places, including sections of lead or galvanised steel plumbing. Corroded joints and perished rubber seals on later replacement fittings can fail slowly behind boxed-in panels or under floors, releasing water gradually rather than in an obvious burst, which lets escape of water spread unseen until skirting or flooring is affected.

★★★★★

Really impressed with the whole experience. The surveyor did a proper, thorough job and didn't rush anything, they got to the root cause of the damp and explained it all clearly. Detailed, professional and reassuring from start to finish. Couldn't recommend them more highly.

★★★★★

Very professional and organised I must say came out and completed the work very efficiently customer service was excellent. Definitely recommend this damp and mould service to anyone looking for a job done correctly. :)

Tip: If your water meter ticks over with every tap off, or a wall or ceiling stays damp with no obvious cause, there is a hidden leak. Finding it early is far cheaper than repairing the mould and damage it leaves behind.
