Leak to dry to treated, one company in East Sheen

East Sheen's housing stock is dominated by Edwardian and inter-war semis and terraces along West Temple Sheen and the Upper Richmond Road, alongside mansion blocks and postwar infill near Sheen Lane. Original lead and cast-iron plumbing, flat-roofed rear extensions and loft conversions common to these properties are frequent sources of slow, hidden water leaks.

Areas of East Sheen we cover

We attend leaks right across East Sheen and its neighbourhoods, including:

Common leaks in East Sheen homes

Flat-roofed extensions over kitchens and bathrooms

Many East Sheen semis have had rear kitchen or bathroom extensions added with flat felt or GRP roofs, typical of the area's incremental Edwardian and 1930s home improvements. These roofs are prone to perished membranes and pooling water, letting moisture track slowly into ceiling joists and ceiling below without any obvious drip, often surfacing only as staining or a musty smell weeks later.

Ensuite and loft conversion bathrooms leaking downward

Loft conversions and added ensuites are common across East Sheen's larger Edwardian and inter-war houses, particularly around Sheen Lane and Christ Church Road. Shower trays, waste pipe joints and tile grout on upper floors can fail quietly, sending water through floor voids into bedroom or hallway ceilings below, damaging plasterwork long before residents notice damp patches or discolouration.

Ageing supply pipework in older terraces and mansion blocks

Properties near Sheen Common and the mansion blocks along the Upper Richmond Road often retain original or mid-century supply pipework, including lead, copper and early plastic fittings. Perished joint seals, corroded valves and hidden pinhole leaks in concealed risers or under floors can release water gradually, causing rot and hidden damage well before any escape of water becomes visible on skirtings or floors.

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.
