Leak to dry to treated, one company in Hersham

Hersham's housing runs from 1930s semi-detached homes around Rydens and Queens Road to the substantial detached properties of Burwood Park, many extended with flat-roofed additions, plus newer flatted developments near the village centre. This mix of ageing roofs, extended bathrooms and converted plumbing runs means hidden water leaks often develop unnoticed for weeks before staining or ceiling damage appears below.

Common leaks in Hersham homes

Flat roof extensions in Burwood Park and Ashley Park

Many Hersham homes, particularly the larger detached properties around Burwood Park and Ashley Park, have flat-roofed kitchen or garden room extensions. Felt and asphalt coverings degrade with age and perish at joints and upstands, letting water track along joists into ceilings below. Because the entry point and the visible stain are rarely in the same place, these leaks are frequently missed until timber begins to soften.

En suite bathrooms above living space in extended semis

Older semi-detached houses around Rydens and Queens Road have often had loft or rear extensions adding en suite bathrooms directly above kitchens and lounges. Failed shower tray seals, cracked grout and perished silicone around baths allow water to escape through the floor void gradually. Occupants may notice only a musty smell or a slowly spreading ceiling mark long after the seal first failed.

Ageing plumbing in converted flats near the village centre

Hersham's converted and purpose-built flats close to the village centre and station rely on shared pipework and waste stacks that are now decades old. Corroded joints, perished washing machine hoses and failed compression fittings under sinks can leak steadily behind cabinetry, affecting the flat below. In multi-occupancy buildings this often causes disputes over responsibility while the actual source remains hidden until walls are opened.

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.
