Leak to dry to treated, one company in Golders Green

Golders Green's housing stock is dominated by substantial Edwardian and interwar semi-detached and detached houses, many extended to the rear with flat roofs, alongside numerous purpose-built mansion blocks favoured by the local community. This mix of ageing pitched roofs, later flat-roofed additions and shared block plumbing creates multiple entry points for hidden water leaks that can go unnoticed for months.

Common leaks in Golders Green homes

Flat roof extensions over kitchens and bathrooms

Many Golders Green houses have single-storey rear extensions with flat roofs added to accommodate larger kitchens or extra bathrooms. Felt or old asphalt coverings degrade over time, especially where roofs meet the original brickwork, allowing water to track along joists and appear as staining on ceilings well away from the actual defect, delaying discovery and repair.

Ensuite bathrooms in converted upper floors

Loft conversions and upper-floor ensuite additions are common in the area's larger Edwardian and 1930s homes. Shower trays and tiled floors installed without proper tanking allow water to seep through joists into rooms below, often surfacing as damp patches or bulging ceilings on the ground floor long after the original leak began.

Ageing plumbing in mansion block flats

Golders Green has a high concentration of purpose-built mansion blocks with shared risers and communal pipework dating back decades. Perished washers, corroded joints or failed seals around bathroom fittings can allow escape of water that travels through floor voids into the flat below, complicating both leak detection and liability between neighbouring properties.

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.
