Leak to dry to treated, one company in Brighton

Brighton's housing runs from tall Regency townhouses in Kemptown and Brunswick, carved into flats with stacked bathrooms, to Victorian terraces in Hanover and Seven Dials with rear return extensions, plus 1930s semis in Patcham and Withdean. This mix of converted period buildings, flat-roofed additions and ageing plumbing runs behind original plaster means hidden leaks are common and often go unnoticed for months.

Common leaks in Brighton homes

Converted Regency flats and shared pipework

Many Kemptown and Brunswick Town townhouses were split into flats decades ago, with bathrooms stacked above one another and shared soil stacks boxed into original plaster coving. A failed joint or worn seal on an upper floor can travel down through joists and cornicing, showing up as a stain in the flat below long after the escape of water actually began, making the source hard to trace without inspection.

Flat-roofed rear extensions on Victorian terraces

Hanover, Seven Dials and Round Hill are dense with Victorian terraces that gained single-storey kitchen or bathroom extensions with flat felt or GRP roofs. Brighton's coastal weather ages these roof coverings, and once the membrane perishes at an upstand or joint, rainwater tracks along the roof deck rather than dripping straight through, so damp patches appear well away from the actual defect.

Lower ground floor conversions below leaking bathrooms

Lower ground and basement flats are common in Kemptown, Hanover and parts of Preston Park, often converted with kitchens or bedrooms directly beneath original bathrooms. A slow leak from a shower tray, waste pipe or perished seal upstairs can seep through old floor joists and lath and plaster ceilings for weeks, softening plaster and skirting below before any visible sign reaches the occupant underneath.

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.

I have been dealing with damp and mould for years but these guys were able to come in and resolve the problem quickly and professionally. Their prices were fair and reasonable and they got the job done clean. 10/10 would use again and would recommend.

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.
