Leak to dry to treated, one company in Archway

Archway's housing runs from tightly packed Victorian terraces around Holloway Road and Highgate Hill to interwar mansion blocks and the post-war Whittington and Hillrise estates. Many terraces have been split into flats with retrofitted bathrooms and shared pipework, while flat-roofed rear extensions and estate walkways add further weak points where water quietly gets in.

Areas of Archway we cover

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

Common leaks in Archway homes

Converted Victorian terraces with stacked bathrooms

Streets off Holloway Road and Junction Road are lined with Victorian terraces long ago split into two or three flats. Bathrooms were often added above kitchens with minimal waterproofing beneath the tray or shower tray edge. A perished seal or a hairline crack in old lead or cast iron soil pipe can send water quietly through the floor void into the flat below for weeks before staining appears.

Flat-roofed closet wings and rear extensions

Many Archway terraces have single-storey closet wings and rear extensions with flat felt or asphalt roofs covering kitchens and bathrooms. These roofs sit below the main roofline, collect debris, and their edge flashings and upstands are prone to perishing. Once the membrane splits, water tracks along joists and ceiling boards, often surfacing well away from the actual entry point.

Estate blocks with communal risers and flat roofs

Around the Whittington and Hillrise estates, flats share vertical plumbing risers and communal flat roofs serving several properties at once. A failed joint or corroded riser section can leak sideways through party walls and floor slabs, affecting a neighbouring flat rather than the one at fault, which makes tracing the true source of escape of water slower and more disruptive.

What our customers say

★★★★★

I recently used a damp and mould specialist company and was extremely impressed with the service from start to finish. From the initial survey, they were knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to clearly explain the cause of the issue rather than just treating the symptoms.

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.
