Leak to dry to treated, one company in Hammersmith

Hammersmith's housing runs from tall Victorian terraces split into flats around Brackenbury Village and Ravenscourt Park to riverside apartment blocks near Fulham Reach and post-war estates towards Queen Caroline Street. This mix of converted period plumbing, shared flat roofs and stacked bathrooms above ground-floor ceilings means hidden escapes of water are a persistent, costly risk for owners and landlords alike.

Common leaks in Hammersmith homes

Converted Victorian terraces with stacked bathrooms

Many Hammersmith terraces near Brackenbury Village and Brook Green were split into flats decades ago, with bathrooms built directly above the flat below's ceiling. Ageing waste pipes, poorly resealed baths and ill-fitting shower trays let water seep slowly through floor joists, often surfacing as a stained ceiling or damp patch long after the original leak began.

Flat roofs on mansion blocks and riverside developments

Mansion blocks around Ravenscourt Park and newer apartment buildings near Fulham Reach frequently have flat or low-pitch roofs with felt or membrane coverings. Once these seals perish or blister in the sun, rainwater tracks along joists and down internal walls, appearing as ceiling staining in top-floor flats well away from the actual point of failure.

Failed seals in ex-local authority blocks

Estates around Queen Caroline Street and West Kensington include post-war low and high-rise blocks with shared plumbing risers and communal bathrooms stacked between flats. Perished pipe joints, worn expansion seals and ageing waste stacks behind boxing-in commonly cause escapes of water that spread between neighbouring properties before residents notice anything wrong.

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.
