Leak to dry to treated, one company in Hackney Wick
Hackney Wick mixes converted Victorian warehouses and industrial units with new-build canal-side apartment blocks thrown up around the Olympic Park regeneration. Older loft conversions often carry ageing flat roofs and retrofitted plumbing never designed for today's bathrooms and kitchens, while densely stacked new-build flats rely on membrane roofs, balconies and shared risers, all of which give hidden water leaks plenty of routes into the fabric below.

Common leaks in Hackney Wick homes
Warehouse and loft conversion flat roofs
Many of Hackney Wick's converted factories and print works have flat or low-pitch roofs retrofitted decades after the original build. Ageing felt or asphalt membranes crack and lift at the upstands and outlets, letting water track along exposed timber joists and brickwork before it ever shows as a ceiling stain, often soaking insulation and studio floors below long before anyone notices.
New-build canal-side apartments and balconies
The newer riverside and canal-facing blocks around Fish Island and the Olympic Park rely on podium decks, balcony membranes and concealed risers serving many flats. A perished balcony seal or a failed waterproofing detail at deck level can send water straight into the flat beneath, and because pipework runs behind plasterboard, escapes of water often build up unseen until a neighbour reports a stained ceiling.
Bathrooms stacked above living space
In converted units and terraced houses on the Wick's residential streets, bathrooms are frequently positioned directly above kitchens or ground floor rooms with plumbing added well after construction. Perished shower tray seals, cracked grout and ageing waste pipe joints let water seep through floor voids gradually, so damage to the ceiling and joists below can be well established before it becomes visible.
