Leak to dry to treated, one company in Brentwood

Brentwood mixes Victorian and Edwardian townhouses near the High Street with 1930s semis in Warley and Pilgrims Hatch, mock-Tudor detached homes in Hutton and Shenfield, and executive estates with flat-roofed extensions. This range of ages and building methods means plumbing runs, roof coverings and bathroom waterproofing vary widely in condition, and hidden leaks often go unnoticed until damage reaches ceilings below.

Areas of Brentwood we cover

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

Common leaks in Brentwood homes

Ageing pipework in 1930s semis

Many of Brentwood's semi-detached homes in Warley and Pilgrims Hatch still carry original or mid-century plumbing runs beneath suspended timber floors. Joints and soldered fittings degrade with age, and a failed connection under a kitchen or bathroom floor can leak steadily for weeks, soaking joists and subfloor timber long before staining appears on the ceiling below.

Flat-roofed extensions and garages

Kitchen and utility extensions built during Brentwood's postwar and 1970s expansion, particularly around Hutton and Ingatestone Road, frequently rely on flat felt or asphalt roofs. These coverings have a limited working life, and once the membrane splits or pools with standing water, moisture tracks along ceiling joists into the rooms beneath, often reaching internal walls before any leak is visible.

En-suite bathrooms above living space

The larger detached and executive homes around Shenfield and Great Warley commonly feature first-floor en-suites and family bathrooms with tiled shower enclosures. Perished silicone seals or a cracked shower tray allow water to seep through the floor void into the ceiling of the room below, a slow escape of water that can affect plasterboard and light fittings before residents notice.

★★★★★

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.
