Leak to dry to treated, one company in Brixton

Brixton's housing stock ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Herne Hill and Tulse Hill to 1930s conversions, ex-council blocks near Stockwell and Angell Town, and dense new-build flats along Coldharbour Lane. This mix of ageing pipework, flat-roofed extensions and stacked bathrooms in converted terraces makes hidden leaks common, particularly where original plumbing has never been replaced.

Areas of Brixton we cover

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

Common leaks in Brixton homes

Converted terraces with stacked bathrooms

Many Brixton Hill and Tulse Hill terraces were split into flats decades ago, often placing a bathroom directly above another. Waste pipes and shower trays fitted during these conversions were rarely designed for long-term use, and perished seals or cracked joints let water track through floor voids unnoticed until a ceiling below starts staining or sagging.

Flat roofs on rear extensions

Rear kitchen extensions are common across Loughborough Junction and Angell Town terraces, and many carry flat felt or GRP roofs installed years ago. Once the covering ages, splits and pooling allow water to seep slowly into the joists and ceiling below, often showing only as a faint discolouration long before the extent of the timber damage is visible.

Ageing supply pipework in ex-council blocks

The post-war blocks around Stockwell and Effra Road have concealed supply and heating pipework running through concrete floors and duct risers. When a joint fails or a pipe corrodes, water can travel sideways behind screed for some distance before it surfaces, meaning the visible damp patch is often nowhere near the actual source of the escape.

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.
