Leak to dry to treated, one company in Highams Park

Highams Park's housing stock is dominated by Edwardian and inter-war terraces and semis around Handsworth Avenue and The Avenue, alongside 1930s flat-roof extensions and post-war infill near the lake and station. These older properties carry original lead flashings, aging soil stacks and single-skin flat roofs above kitchens and bathrooms, all prone to hidden leaks as seals and joints perish with age.

Common leaks in Highams Park homes

Flat roof extensions prone to hidden leaks

Many Highams Park terraces gained rear kitchen or bathroom extensions with flat felt or asphalt roofs during the 20th century. Perished membranes, cracked upstands and blocked outlets let rainwater track along joists rather than showing at the surface immediately, so damage often reaches ceilings and party walls before residents notice, particularly on the streets around Handsworth Avenue and Marlborough Road.

Upstairs bathrooms leaking into rooms below

Edwardian and 1930s houses near Highams Park station typically have a single first-floor bathroom retrofitted above original ceilings. Failed shower trays, cracked grout or a perished bath seal allow water to seep through floorboards and lath-and-plaster below, appearing as staining or a sagging ceiling in the lounge or hallway long after the original leak began.

Perished pipework and seals in older plumbing systems

Properties in Chapel End and around Larkswood often retain original or mid-century plumbing, where soldered joints, compression fittings and rubber washers degrade over decades. Escape of water from a corroded pipe run under floors or behind cladding can persist unseen for weeks, gradually softening timber, promoting mould and undermining plaster before any visible sign appears.

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.
