Leak to dry to treated, one company in Borough Green
Borough Green's housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces along the high street to 1930s semis, postwar estates and newer infill developments, with older cottages and farmhouses in surrounding villages such as Wrotham and Ightham. This mix of ages means a wide range of pipework, roofing and bathroom installations, many overdue for renewal, which raises the chance of hidden leaks going unnoticed under floors and behind walls.

Common leaks in Borough Green homes
Old pipework beneath Victorian and Edwardian terraces
The terraced housing near Borough Green's high street often retains original or early replacement plumbing runs beneath suspended timber floors. Joints in old copper or lead pipework corrode and weep slowly rather than bursting, so water can soak into floor timbers and subfloor voids for weeks before staining appears on ceilings below, leaving hidden rot and damp that only becomes obvious once flooring is lifted.
Flat roofs on 1930s semis and rear extensions
Many semi-detached homes and bungalows around Wrotham Heath and Platt have flat-roofed extensions, garages or kitchen additions added over the decades. Felt and asphalt coverings degrade with age and weather exposure, letting water track along joists into ceiling voids rather than dripping straight through. This can saturate insulation and plasterboard unseen, particularly where roof falls are shallow and standing water lingers after rain.
Converted bathrooms and en-suites leaking to rooms below
Extended and loft-converted properties across Borough Green frequently have upper-floor bathrooms or en-suites added without full access to check tanking beneath. Perished sealant around baths, showers and pipe penetrations allows water to escape gradually through the floor, affecting ceilings and light fittings in the room below. Because the leak is intermittent, it is often mistaken for condensation until damage to plaster and joists becomes apparent.
