Leak to dry to treated, one company in Hanwell

Hanwell's housing stock ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Churchfields and the Broadway to 1930s semis near Elthorne Park and post-war conversions closer to the canal. This mix of ageing plumbing, flat-roofed extensions and multi-occupancy conversions means hidden escapes of water are common, often tracking along old joists before surfacing far from their source.

Common leaks in Hanwell homes

Victorian terraces with concealed pipework

Many Hanwell terraces near the Broadway and Churchfields still run original or early replacement plumbing beneath suspended timber floors. Perished joints and failed soldered fittings can leak for months unnoticed, soaking into floorboards and joists. Because these Victorian layouts often have bathrooms retrofitted above kitchens, a slow leak from an upstairs bathroom frequently shows up as a stain on the ceiling below.

Flat roof extensions and rear additions

Rear kitchen and bathroom extensions are common across Hanwell's 1930s semis and terraced conversions, many finished with felt or GRP flat roofs. Perished flashing and cracked upstands let rainwater track inward along the roof deck rather than dripping straight through, so damage can appear well away from the actual defect, often misread as rising damp until the roof covering is inspected.

Converted flats and shared bathroom risk

Properties split into flats around West Ealing and Norwood Green share waste stacks and bathroom floors between units. A failed shower tray seal or cracked waste pipe in an upper flat can seep through the floor structure into the ceiling of the flat below, causing damage that the upstairs occupant may not even notice until a neighbour reports staining or a damp smell.

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.

Great experience with this company from start to finish. They were professional, knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly without any pressure. The work was carried out efficiently and to a high standard, and we’ve already noticed a big improvement. It’s reassuring to deal with a team that genuinely cares about doing the job properly. Highly recommend to anyone dealing with damp or mould issues.

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.
