Leak to dry to treated, one company in Chislehurst

Chislehurst's housing runs from large Victorian and Edwardian villas around the Common to 1930s mock-Tudor semis near Elmstead Woods and newer flat conversions close to the station. Many properties retain original cellars, slate roofs and lead valley gutters, while extensions and loft rooms add extra pipework and flat-roofed sections, all of which create more places for hidden leaks to develop unnoticed.

Common leaks in Chislehurst homes

Victorian and Edwardian villas with cellars and valley roofs

The large period villas around Chislehurst Common and Prickend often have cellars, lead valley gutters and slate roofs original to the build. Perished lead flashing or a blocked valley gutter can let water track silently through old brickwork and timber joists for months, surfacing as damp cellar walls or stained ceilings long after the actual leak began.

1930s semis with flat-roofed extensions and garages

Chislehurst has many mock-Tudor and bay-fronted semis from the 1930s, typically extended over the years with flat-roofed kitchens, bathrooms or garages. Ageing felt or GRP coverings on these additions are prone to splitting, and a failed roof seal can send water into the ceiling void below, often reaching wiring and insulation before any staining appears indoors.

Station-side flat conversions and escape of water between floors

Around Chislehurst station and Royal Parade, older houses split into flats and newer apartment blocks share concealed plumbing runs and party floors. A failed shower seal, perished washing machine hose or hidden pipe joint in one flat can send water into the property below, causing escape-of-water damage that spreads between units before it is even noticed upstairs.

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.
