Leak to dry to treated, one company in Gillingham

Gillingham's housing stock ranges from Victorian terraces near Brompton and the town centre to 1930s semis in Grange and Twydall, plus post-war estates and newer builds around Wigmore and Hempstead. This mix of ageing plumbing, flat-roofed extensions and converted properties means hidden leaks develop differently across the town, often unnoticed until ceilings stain or floors soften.

Common leaks in Gillingham homes

Victorian terraces with ageing plumbing

Many terraced homes near Brompton and central Gillingham still run original or partially updated pipework beneath floorboards and behind lath and plaster walls. Joints perish and soldered fittings fail quietly over years, releasing water into voids that stay damp long before any visible sign appears, often only found once floorboards feel spongy or skirting boards start to swell.

Flat-roofed extensions and rear additions

Post-war semis in Twydall and Grange frequently have flat-roofed kitchen or bathroom extensions added over the decades. Felt and asphalt coverings degrade, and perished seals around flashing let water track slowly into ceiling voids and stud walls, spreading well beyond the original entry point before staining becomes obvious inside the room below.

Upstairs bathrooms leaking into rooms below

Many Gillingham homes, particularly semis and converted properties around Hempstead and Wigmore, have upstairs bathrooms retrofitted decades after construction. Failed shower seals, cracked grout or a worn tray connection allow water to escape steadily into the floor structure, often surfacing as a stained ceiling or bulging plaster in the room directly beneath before anyone realises there is a problem.

What our customers say

Excellent
Rated 5.0 / 5 based on 18 reviews on
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.
