Leak to dry to treated, one company in Hartfield

Hartfield's housing stock is dominated by centuries-old timber-framed cottages, tile-hung and weatherboarded houses, and converted farm buildings, alongside a scattering of newer infill homes near the village centre. Ageing lead flashings, softwood window frames and retrofitted bathrooms squeezed into low-ceilinged cottages make hidden leaks common, while flat-roofed extensions on older properties often lack modern waterproofing detail.

Common leaks in Hartfield homes

Timber-framed cottages and hall houses

Many of Hartfield's timber-framed cottages and Wealden hall houses have plumbing chased through wattle and daub or lath and plaster walls, so a failed joint or perished washer can leak for months, unseen, before staining appears. Uneven old floors and hidden ledges mean escaped water often tracks sideways into neighbouring rooms or timber frames, encouraging rot long before residents notice a problem.

Flat-roofed extensions on converted barns

A number of Hartfield's converted barns and farm outbuildings have flat-roofed kitchen extensions or garage links added over the years, often finished in ageing felt rather than modern membrane. Once the covering perishes at a joint or upstand, water can seep in quietly and travel along the joists before it reaches a ceiling below, so damage is frequently well established by the time it is spotted.

Retrofitted upstairs bathrooms

Several of Hartfield's two-storey cottages have had bathrooms squeezed into former bedrooms, with waste pipes and shower trays fitted around original joists that were never designed for wet rooms. Perished silicone seals around baths and shower trays let water seep through gaps in old floorboards, reaching ceilings and ceiling roses in the room below and leaving damp patches that are often mistaken for condensation.

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.
