Leak to dry to treated, one company in Hounslow

Hounslow's housing stock ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Lampton and Spring Grove to 1930s semis in Heston and Cranford, post-war council blocks near Hounslow Heath, and denser new-build flats around the town centre. This mix of ageing pipework, converted properties and stacked flats creates plenty of opportunities for hidden leaks to develop unnoticed between floors and walls.

Common leaks in Hounslow homes

Converted terraces with shared plumbing runs

Many Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Hounslow Central and Lampton have been split into flats over the decades, often with pipework rerouted through party walls and under floorboards. A failed joint or perished washer in an upstairs bathroom can send water tracking along joists for some distance before it shows as a stain downstairs, making the true source hard to pinpoint without opening up the structure.

Flat-roofed extensions and infill developments

Hounslow has a large number of rear extensions and flat-roofed additions built onto older houses, particularly around Heston and Cranford. Felt and asphalt roofing has a limited lifespan, and once the membrane perishes or a junction with the main roof fails, water can seep in slowly during heavy rain, soaking insulation and timber for months before damp patches or sagging plaster reveal the problem inside.

Bathrooms leaking into flats below

Hounslow's stock of post-war and modern flats, including blocks near the town centre and Hounslow West, commonly have bathrooms stacked directly above living spaces in neighbouring units. Failed shower seals, cracked tray joints or old shower pumps can leak steadily through the floor structure, causing ceiling staining, blown plaster and mould in the flat below long before the resident upstairs notices any issue.

What our customers say

Excellent
Rated 5.0 / 5 based on 20 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.
