Leak to dry to treated, one company in Alperton

Alperton's housing stock ranges from 1930s semis and terraces off Ealing Road to dense canal-side apartment blocks built during the area's regeneration, plus converted industrial units near Great Central Way turned into flats and HMOs. This mix of ageing flat roofs, stacked bathrooms and retrofitted plumbing in older buildings leaves many properties exposed to hidden water leaks that go unnoticed for weeks.

Areas of Alperton we cover

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

Common leaks in Alperton homes

Flat roof leaks on extensions and garages

Many Alperton semis and terraces around Sudbury and Preston have flat-roofed kitchen extensions or garages added over the decades. Felt or GRP coverings perish with age and UV exposure, letting water track along joists into ceiling voids rather than dripping straight through. Homeowners often only notice a leak once staining, sagging plaster or a musty smell appears, by which time the timber beneath may already be affected.

Stacked bathrooms in canal-side apartment blocks

The newer apartment developments along Ealing Road and near the Grand Union Canal have bathrooms stacked directly above neighbouring flats. A failed shower tray seal, cracked waste pipe joint or perished silicone around a bath can send water seeping into the ceiling of the flat below for some time before it is spotted, often surfacing first as a damp patch or peeling paint rather than an obvious flood.

Ageing plumbing in converted and multi-let properties

Alperton has a number of former industrial units and larger houses converted into flats or HMOs near Great Central Way and Stonebridge. Communal risers, concealed pipework behind false ceilings and older joints under multiple tenancies increase the chance of a slow escape of water going unreported, since no single occupant has full sight of the plumbing serving the whole building.

Rated 5.0 / 5 based on 20 reviews on
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.
