Leak to dry to treated, one company in Farnborough Kent
Farnborough Kent mixes Victorian and Edwardian cottages along the old high street with 1930s semis, postwar estates and newer infill homes towards Locksbottom and Orpington. This variety means pipework of very different ages sits under one roof type after another, while flat-roofed extensions and garages, common on the interwar semis, and older bathroom conversions in the village cottages, give hidden leaks plenty of routes to take hold unnoticed.

Common leaks in Farnborough Kent homes
Flat roofs on extensions and garages
Many of Farnborough's 1930s semis and detached houses have flat-roofed rear extensions or garages added over the decades. Felt or older asphalt coverings degrade with age and weather, letting water track slowly into ceiling voids and wall cavities. Because the roof itself may look intact from ground level, the leak often only shows once staining or a damp patch appears well below.
Bathrooms leaking into rooms below
Older cottages and converted properties around the village centre frequently have bathrooms fitted above living rooms or kitchens without the tanking standards used today. Failed shower trays, cracked grout or a loose bath seal can send water through the floor structure for weeks before a ceiling stain or soft flooring below gives the problem away.
Perished seals and escape of water from ageing plumbing
With housing stock spanning Victorian cottages through to postwar estate homes, Farnborough has a wide spread of pipework ages. Rubber washers, compression joints and stopcock seals perish over time, and an escape of water from a hidden joint under a sink or behind a stud wall can run for some time before it is noticed, particularly in less-used rooms.
