Leak to dry to treated, one company in Farningham

Farningham's housing mix runs from timber-framed and Georgian cottages clustered around the High Street and ford to inter-war and later infill homes further from the River Darent. The older core carries original lead and cast-iron plumbing runs and ageing bathroom seals, while riverside proximity means damp ground conditions can mask a hidden escape of water for weeks before it surfaces.

Common leaks in Farningham homes

Historic High Street cottages with ageing pipework

Many of Farningham's listed and period cottages near the ford still rely on original or early-replacement plumbing hidden within lath-and-plaster walls and solid floors. Perished joints and corroded pipework can leak slowly behind panelling for months, and because these buildings restrict invasive checks, damage often spreads through timber frames before residents notice damp patches or lifting skirting.

Flat-roofed extensions and garages

A number of Farningham properties have added flat-roofed kitchen, utility or garage extensions over the decades. Felt and older asphalt coverings degrade with age and weather cycling, and once seals split, water tracks along joists rather than dripping straight through, leaving stained ceilings and swollen plasterboard some distance from the actual failure point.

En-suite and first-floor bathrooms leaking downward

Later extensions and loft conversions in Farningham often added en-suite or first-floor bathrooms above existing rooms. Perished shower tray seals, grouting and waste pipe connections allow water to seep into the floor void, then travel along joists before appearing as a ceiling stain or bulge in the room below, by which point saturation has usually been ongoing for some time.

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.

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.
