Leak to dry to treated, one company in Bexleyheath

Bexleyheath's housing stock is dominated by 1930s semi-detached and terraced homes built as London expanded along the A2 and Kent Road corridor, alongside pockets of Victorian and Edwardian property near the old town centre and post-war estates towards Barnehurst. Many of these properties have flat-roofed extensions, rear additions and ageing bathrooms, all of which are common sources of hidden water damage.

Common leaks in Bexleyheath homes

Flat roof extensions on 1930s semis

A huge number of Bexleyheath's semi-detached homes have single-storey flat-roofed kitchen or bathroom extensions added over the decades. Felt and asphalt coverings degrade with age, and once the membrane splits, water tracks silently along joists before appearing as a ceiling stain, often long after the original leak began.

Bathrooms leaking through to rooms below

Many Bexleyheath properties have had upstairs bathrooms retrofitted into houses not originally designed for them. Perished shower seals, cracked grout and failed tray seals let water seep through floor joists into the room below, damaging ceilings, light fittings and skirting before residents notice anything is wrong.

Failed plumbing in older pipework

Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the old town centre, plus interwar semis further out, often still run original or ageing plumbing runs beneath floors and within party walls. Corroded joints and perished seals on these hidden pipes cause slow escapes of water that soak subfloors and party walls before any visible damp appears.

What our customers say

Excellent
Rated 5.0 / 5 based on 18 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.
