Leak to dry to treated, one company in Hoxton

Hoxton's housing runs from Victorian terraces and converted warehouse lofts to 1930s-60s council blocks on estates like Whitmore, plus newer canalside apartment conversions. This mix of ageing brickwork, flat-roofed industrial conversions and stacked flats sharing pipework means hidden leaks travel between properties easily, often surfacing well away from their original source in a neighbour's ceiling or party wall.

Areas of Hoxton we cover

We attend leaks right across Hoxton and its neighbourhoods, including:

Common leaks in Hoxton homes

Converted warehouse flat roofs

Many of Hoxton's period warehouses were converted into loft-style flats with flat felt or asphalt roofs bridging several units. Once the membrane perishes or upstands crack, water tracks sideways across joists before dripping through a ceiling metres from the actual defect, making the leak's true origin hard to trace without opening up more than one flat.

Stacked bathrooms in subdivided Victorian houses

Terraced houses split into flats often have bathrooms stacked directly above one another, added decades apart with varying standards of tanking. Failed shower trays, perished sealant around baths, or degraded lead flashing around waste pipes let water seep through floor timbers into the flat below, sometimes for months before staining or a sagging ceiling gives it away.

Ageing pipework in estate and ex-local-authority blocks

Council-era blocks around Hoxton, including estates near the canal, still rely on original galvanised or early copper plumbing runs concealed in ducts and solid floors. Corrosion or a split joint inside these risers can leak for a long time unnoticed, tracking down through concrete floor slabs and reappearing as damp patches or mould in a flat one or two storeys below.

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.

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.
