Leak to dry to treated, one company in Chessington

Chessington's housing stock ranges from 1930s semi-detached houses around Chessington South to postwar estates near Hook and Malden Rushett, with pockets of 1960s and 1970s builds featuring flat-roofed extensions and garages. This mix of ageing pitched roofs, bolted-on flat roof additions and original 1930s plumbing runs means hidden leaks develop unnoticed behind old brickwork and beneath ground floor rooms for years.

Common leaks in Chessington homes

Flat roof extensions on 1960s and 1970s properties

Many Chessington homes near Hook and Tolworth gained flat-roofed kitchen and bathroom extensions during the 1960s and 1970s. Felt and asphalt coverings on these roofs perish with age, allowing water to track along joists and drip into ceilings well away from the original entry point, often only becoming obvious once plasterboard has already absorbed significant moisture.

Upstairs bathrooms leaking into 1930s semi-detached homes

The 1930s semi-detached houses common across Chessington South and Old Malden were not built with modern en-suite or upstairs bathroom plumbing in mind. Retrofitted shower trays, perished sealant around baths and ageing waste pipes let water seep through original timber floors, staining ceilings and skirting in the room below long before residents notice a problem upstairs.

Failed plumbing and escape of water in postwar estate housing

Postwar estate properties around Malden Rushett and Berrylands often still run original or partially upgraded copper plumbing beneath solid or suspended floors. Corroded joints, split pipework behind boxed-in sections and failed seals around washing machine or dishwasher connections cause slow escapes of water that soak subfloor timber and insulation, sometimes for months, before damp patches or a drop in water pressure gives it away.

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.
