Leak to dry to treated, one company in Ightham

Ightham's housing stock ranges from timber-framed Wealden cottages and the moated medieval fabric around Ightham Mote to Victorian and Edwardian village houses, with pockets of 1960s-70s infill and barn or oast conversions on the outskirts. This mix of ancient timber frames, older lead plumbing and later extensions means hidden leaks often go undetected until timber, plaster or brickwork has already suffered lasting damage.

Common leaks in Ightham homes

Ageing pipework inside historic timber frames

Many Ightham cottages retain original timber framing with plumbing run through narrow void spaces added decades later. When old lead or early copper pipework fails, water tracks along beams and wattle-and-daub panels rather than showing on the surface, encouraging rot and hiding the true extent of damage until timbers are visibly affected.

Flat roofs on barn and outbuilding conversions

Converted barns, garages and oast-adjacent outbuildings around Ightham often carry flat-roofed extensions finished in ageing felt or asphalt. Once the membrane perishes or flashing lifts at a joint with older brick or ragstone walls, water enters gradually, soaking into insulation and ceiling timbers below long before staining becomes obvious inside the property.

Upper floor bathrooms in period and converted homes

Bathrooms retrofitted into upstairs rooms of older Ightham houses, including converted lofts and outbuildings, frequently sit above original lath and plaster or exposed timber ceilings. Perished seals around baths and shower trays let water seep through floor joists into the room below, often undetected until a ceiling stain or sagging plaster 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.
