Leak to dry to treated, one company in Aldgate

Aldgate's housing stock ranges from converted Victorian warehouses and former wool merchants' buildings turned into loft apartments, to modern high-rise developments like Goodman's Fields, alongside the Portsoken estate and flats sitting above City-fringe shops and offices. This mix of ageing flat roofs, shared risers and mixed-use plumbing creates varied and often hidden opportunities for water to escape unnoticed.

Common leaks in Aldgate homes

Converted Warehouse Flat Roofs

Many Aldgate loft conversions occupy former Victorian warehouses with flat roofs adapted for residential use decades after they were built. These roof coverings and flashings were never designed for constant occupation below, and as they age, membranes crack and joints separate. Water tracks slowly through old brickwork and timber, often surfacing well away from the original defect, delaying discovery.

High-Rise Riser and Stack Failures

Developments such as Goodman's Fields rely on shared vertical risers carrying water and waste through multiple floors. A single perished joint or corroded section high in the building can send water cascading through several flats below before residents on lower floors notice staining. Because the fault sits within a shared stack, tracing the exact failure point often requires access to neighbouring properties.

Mixed-Use Buildings Above Shops

Aldgate's dense streets place residential flats directly above cafes, offices and retail units, often within the same converted building. A leaking bathroom seal or failed pipe joint in a flat can seep through floors into the commercial space below, damaging stock and fittings. These leaks are frequently missed until the business downstairs reports damp patches or dripping ceilings.

★★★★★

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.

Keiryn Raf, via Google

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.
