Leak to dry to treated, one company in Hampton Wick

Hampton Wick's housing mix runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the village centre to interwar semis and riverside conversions close to the Thames and Bushy Park. Many older properties retain original lead or iron plumbing runs and flat-roofed rear additions, while converted upper flats share bathrooms and waste stacks with the property below, creating repeated conditions for hidden leaks.

Common leaks in Hampton Wick homes

Victorian terraces with ageing plumbing runs

Hampton Wick's older terraces, many dating from the Victorian and Edwardian era, often still carry original or long-patched pipework hidden beneath floorboards and behind lath and plaster. Joints corrode and soldered fittings fail quietly under floors, soaking joists and ceilings below before any damp patch becomes visible, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms added at the rear.

Flat-roofed rear extensions and kitchen additions

Many Hampton Wick homes near the village and along Church Grove have single-storey flat-roofed kitchen or bathroom extensions typical of mid-century additions. These felt or asphalt roofs perish with age, and water tracks along joists and roof timbers unnoticed until staining appears on the ceiling below, by which point insulation and timber have often absorbed water for weeks or months.

Converted flats with bathrooms above living space

The area's period houses split into upper and lower flats near Kingston Bridge and Lower Teddington Road often place a bathroom directly above another household's kitchen or lounge. Perished shower tray seals, failed grout or a cracked waste pipe joint can send water through the ceiling void into the flat below, causing damage that is discovered only once it reaches a neighbour's ceiling.

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.
