Leak to dry to treated, one company in Hadlow

Hadlow's housing spans timber-framed and weatherboarded cottages around the historic centre, Victorian farmhouses, converted oast houses, and later 20th-century infill close to Hadlow Castle and the village school. This mix of old and new brings a wide range of plumbing ages, flat-roofed extensions, and converted agricultural buildings, all of which are prone to hidden leaks developing unnoticed over time.

Common leaks in Hadlow homes

Ageing pipework in period cottages

Many of Hadlow's timber-framed and weatherboarded cottages near the village centre still run original or mid-century plumbing behind lath and plaster walls. Joints and soldered fittings degrade with age, and a slow supply pipe leak can travel along old ceiling timbers or floor joists for weeks before staining appears, often causing significant damp damage before anyone notices.

Flat roofs on oast house conversions and extensions

Several converted oast houses and farm buildings around Hadlow carry flat-roofed link sections or single-storey extensions. Felt and asphalt coverings on these roofs perish with exposure to Kent's weather, and once the membrane splits, water tracks along roof timbers and down internal walls, frequently surfacing far from the original point of entry.

Bathrooms leaking through to rooms below

In Hadlow's two-storey cottages and later estate housing, upstairs bathrooms are commonly positioned directly above living rooms or kitchens. Perished shower seals, cracked grout, or a failed waste pipe joint can let water seep steadily through the floor void, soaking insulation and ceiling plasterboard below long before a visible drip or stain gives the problem away.

What our customers say

Excellent
Rated 5.0 / 5 based on 19 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.
