Leak to dry to treated, one company in Hackney

Hackney's housing stock ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces split into flats, through ex-council low-rise estates and tower blocks in Homerton and Clapton, to converted warehouses and new-build developments around Hackney Wick and London Fields. This mix of old shared plumbing stacks, flat-roofed extensions and stacked bathrooms means hidden leaks travel quickly between neighbours and are often spotted only once ceilings are stained.

Areas of Hackney we cover

We attend leaks right across Hackney and its neighbourhoods, including:

Common leaks in Hackney homes

Converted Victorian terraces with shared stacks

Many Hackney terraces in Dalston, Stoke Newington and De Beauvoir Town were split into flats decades ago, leaving old soil stacks and water pipes boxed in behind plasterboard and shared between separate households. When a joint or seal fails, water tracks along joists before it shows, so a leak in an upper flat's bathroom frequently appears as a ceiling stain one floor below, well after the damage began.

Flat roofs on extensions and converted warehouses

Rear extensions on terraced houses and the converted industrial buildings around Hackney Wick and Haggerston often rely on flat felt or asphalt roofs rather than pitched tiles. These coverings perish with age and sun exposure, and once cracked they let rainwater seep slowly into the timber deck below, causing hidden rot and damp patches that only become visible well after the roof has started failing.

Ex-council blocks and estate pipework

The low-rise estates and tower blocks around Homerton and Clapton have communal risers, water tanks and pipework serving many flats, installed decades ago and now reaching the end of their working life. Perished washers, corroded joints or a failed seal on one flat's plumbing can send an escape of water down through several floors, damaging neighbouring homes before the original source is ever traced.

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.
