Leak to dry to treated, one company in Cricklewood

Cricklewood's housing stock ranges from Edwardian and Victorian terraces split into flats around Chichele Road and Walm Lane, to interwar mansion blocks, ex-council low-rise estates such as Mapesbury, and newer riverside-style developments near the Thameslink tracks. This variety means shared risers, flat roofs and ageing conversions sit side by side, each with its own vulnerability to hidden water ingress.

Areas of Cricklewood we cover

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

Common leaks in Cricklewood homes

Converted terraces with shared pipework

Many Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Chichele Road and Walm Lane were subdivided into flats decades ago, leaving bathrooms stacked above kitchens and living rooms with shared soil stacks and risers. A failed joint or cracked waste pipe inside a wall cavity can send water down through joists into the flat below for weeks, showing only as a faint ceiling stain before the plaster gives way.

Flat roofs on mansion blocks

The interwar mansion blocks lining Walm Lane and Chichele Road commonly have flat roofs, parapet gutters and valley junctions that were never designed for indefinite service. Perished felt or cracked asphalt lets rainwater track along roof timbers before dripping out yards from the actual defect, so top-floor flats often see damp patches long after the roof covering has already failed.

Ex-council estates and maisonette risers

Low-rise estates around Mapesbury and Dollis Hill mix maisonettes, communal risers and flat-roofed extensions built onto original 1960s and 1970s structures. Perished rubber seals around bath overflows and shower trays, combined with ageing communal stopcocks, mean an escape of water can run unnoticed within boxed-in pipework, eventually surfacing as staining or a sagging ceiling in a neighbouring unit.

★★★★★

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.
