Leak to dry to treated, one company in Crowborough

Crowborough's housing spans Victorian and Edwardian villas near the town centre, extensive mid-century semi-detached and detached estates, and a notably high number of bungalows built for retirees on the ridge above the Weald. This mix means original lead or galvanised pipework, ageing flat-roofed extensions and dated bathroom conversions all sit within easy reach of timber floors and ceiling voids, giving hidden leaks plenty of routes to spread unseen.

Common leaks in Crowborough homes

Ageing pipework in Victorian and Edwardian villas

Properties around the High Street and Croft Road often retain original or early-replacement pipework buried beneath suspended timber floors. Joints in lead, galvanised steel or early copper corrode or loosen over decades, and a slow weep under boards can soak joists and subfloor for months before staining appears on a ceiling below, by which point rot has usually set in.

Flat-roofed bungalow extensions

Crowborough has a large proportion of bungalows built through the mid-20th century, many extended with flat-roofed kitchens, garages or garden rooms. Felt and asphalt coverings on these roofs perish with age and UV exposure, and once the membrane splits, water tracks along the roof deck and drips down within wall cavities, often surfacing well away from the actual point of failure.

Bathrooms leaking through to rooms below

In the town's many two-storey semis and detached houses, upstairs bathrooms and en-suites added during 1970s-90s renovations frequently sit above bedrooms or kitchens. Perished shower tray seals, cracked grout or failed silicone around baths let water seep through the floor structure, damaging ceilings and plaster below long before residents notice a problem in the bathroom itself.

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.
