Leak to dry to treated, one company in Brentford

Brentford's housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the High Street to 1930s semis near Boston Manor, and increasingly to converted riverside warehouses and new-build tower blocks along the Grand Union Canal and Thames. This mix of ageing pipework, flat-roofed conversions and densely stacked high-rise flats means hidden water leaks show up in very different ways depending on the property.

Areas of Brentford we cover

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

Common leaks in Brentford homes

Flat roofs on canalside and riverside conversions

Many former warehouses and wharf buildings near Brentford Dock and the Grand Union Canal have been converted into flats with flat or low-pitch roofs. The felt or membrane covering these roofs perishes over time, allowing water to track slowly through insulation and ceiling voids for months before a stain or damp patch appears on the floor below, often far from the actual point of entry.

Bathroom leaks in stacked new-build flats

Developments such as those around the former GSK site and Brentford's newer riverside towers stack bathrooms directly above one another. Perished shower tray seals, failed grout or a cracked waste pipe can send water straight through the floor slab into the ceiling of the flat below, causing disputes between neighbours and insurers over which property the escape of water actually started in.

Ageing plumbing in Victorian terraces near the High Street

Brentford's older terraced streets close to the High Street and Boston Manor often retain original or early replacement pipework hidden under floorboards and behind chimney breasts. Joints and soldered fittings weaken with age, and a slow failed union or hairline split can leak steadily into subfloor voids, rotting joists and staining ground-floor ceilings long before residents notice damp or a drop in water pressure.

What our customers say

★★★★★

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.

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.
