Leak to dry to treated, one company in Chorleywood

Chorleywood's housing stock ranges from 1920s and 1930s Metroland semis and detached homes near the Common to postwar extensions, mock-Tudor executive properties and older cottages around Chorleywood Bottom and Heronsgate. Many properties have had loft conversions, rear extensions and re-roofed flat sections added over the decades, creating multiple roof junctions, ageing plumbing runs and bathroom conversions that are common sources of hidden water leaks.

Areas of Chorleywood we cover

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

Common leaks in Chorleywood homes

Flat roof extensions over kitchens and garages

Many Chorleywood semis and detached houses near the Common gained single-storey rear extensions with flat felt or GRP roofs during the 1970s to 1990s. These coverings degrade with age and sun exposure, and once the membrane splits or perishes at the upstands, water tracks slowly into the ceiling void below, often staining plasterboard long before anyone notices standing water.

En-suite and upstairs bathroom conversions

Loft conversions and added en-suites are common across Chorleywood's larger family homes, particularly around Chorleywood Bottom and Heronsgate. Shower trays, perished silicone seals around baths, and poorly sealed tile grout let water seep through the floor deck, travelling along joists before appearing as a stain or sagging ceiling in the room below, sometimes weeks after the leak began.

Ageing supply pipework in older cottages and Metroland homes

Properties dating from the interwar Metroland period, along with older cottages near Sarratt and Chenies, often retain original or partially updated plumbing runs beneath solid floors or within cavity walls. Corroded joints, perished washers and failed compression fittings can leak gradually and unseen, causing damp patches, lifting flooring or musty smells before the escape of water becomes obvious.

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.
