Leak to dry to treated, one company in Chatham

Chatham's housing runs from Victorian terraces around Luton and Chatham Hill, built for dockyard workers with cellars and suspended timber floors, through 1930s semis in Walderslade and Lordswood, to flat conversions near Brompton and the newer waterside apartments at Chatham Maritime. This mix of old lead plumbing, converted bathrooms and flat-roofed extensions means hidden leaks surface in very different ways across the town.

Areas of Chatham we cover

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

Common leaks in Chatham homes

Ageing pipework in Luton and Chatham Hill terraces

Many Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Luton and Chatham Hill still carry original or early-replacement lead and galvanised pipework beneath suspended timber floors. Joints perish gradually rather than bursting outright, so water tracks along joists for weeks before staining appears on skirting or ceilings below, often after the timber has already begun to soften and decay unseen.

Flat conversions leaking between floors near Brompton

Brompton and streets bordering Rochester have numerous Victorian houses split into flats, each with a bathroom stacked above the next. Shared soil stacks and shower trays fitted during conversion often use undersized seals, so a slow leak in an upstairs bathroom seeps through the floor void and reappears as a ceiling stain or damp patch in the flat below, sometimes long after the original leak started.

Flat roof failures at Chatham Maritime apartments

The newer apartment blocks and waterside developments at Chatham Maritime rely on flat roofs, balconies and complex membrane detailing around windows and terraces. Once the membrane or flashing perishes, escape of water tracks through insulation layers and communal risers, meaning damage can emerge in a flat several floors below the actual point of entry, complicating both detection and repair.

★★★★★

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.

★★★★★

Very professional and organised I must say came out and completed the work very efficiently customer service was excellent. Definitely recommend this damp and mould service to anyone looking for a job done correctly. :)

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.
