Leak to dry to treated, one company in Covent Garden

Covent Garden's housing stock is dominated by converted Georgian and Victorian terraces, former warehouse and market buildings turned into flats, and mansion blocks sitting above shops, restaurants and theatres. This dense mix of old brickwork, shared risers and mixed commercial-residential use means a single hidden leak can travel through several floors before anyone in Covent Garden notices a problem.

Areas of Covent Garden we cover

We attend leaks right across Covent Garden and its neighbourhoods, including:

Common leaks in Covent Garden homes

Converted warehouse and market flats above commercial units

Many Covent Garden buildings started life as fruit, vegetable or trade warehouses before conversion into flats above cafes, shops and theatres. Retrofitted pipework often runs through old floor voids never designed for modern plumbing, so a failed joint or split pipe can sit hidden above a ground-floor unit for weeks, soaking timber joists and brickwork before any staining reaches the ceiling below.

Flat and low-pitch roofs over Georgian terraces

Where Georgian and Victorian terraces in Covent Garden have been extended with rear additions or converted lofts, flat felt or asphalt roofs are common. Perished flashing and cracked membranes let rainwater seep in slowly rather than pour through, tracking sideways along joists into upper-floor rooms and leaving damp patches that only become obvious once the timber beneath has already begun to soften.

Bathrooms leaking through shared floors to units below

Stacked flats above Covent Garden's restaurants, offices and small hotels often share floor and ceiling voids. A perished shower seal or a slow leak from a bath waste pipe can escape unnoticed for a long time, travelling through the structure and appearing as a stain or smell in the commercial space below, by which point insulation and flooring may already be saturated.

What our customers say

★★★★★

I recently used a damp and mould specialist company and was extremely impressed with the service from start to finish. From the initial survey, they were knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to clearly explain the cause of the issue rather than just treating the symptoms.

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.
