Leak to dry to treated, one company in Kemsing

Kemsing's housing stretches from timber-framed and Kent ragstone cottages around the church and High Street to 1930s semis, post-war bungalows and more recent infill close to the Pilgrims Way. This mix of solid floors, ageing extensions and varied roof types at the foot of the North Downs means hidden pipework and old seals fail quietly, often for weeks before damage surfaces.

Common leaks in Kemsing homes

Solid floors hiding failed pipework in older cottages

Many of Kemsing's period cottages near the High Street and Childsbridge Lane were built with solid concrete or brick floors, with plumbing later chased in or run beneath screed. When joints or copper pipework fail, water spreads sideways under the floor rather than showing quickly, so residents often notice a musty smell or lifting skirting long before any visible puddle appears.

Flat-roofed extensions and dormers on bungalows

The village's bungalows and rear-extended semis, common along roads like Vicarage Hill and Water Lane, frequently carry flat-roofed kitchen or bathroom extensions finished in felt or older asphalt. These coverings degrade with age and sun exposure, splitting at joints and upstands, letting water track along joists and ceiling boards well away from the actual perished area, which delays discovery.

Upstairs bathrooms leaking into rooms below

Loft conversions and first-floor bathroom additions, common in Kemsing's extended family homes, place shower trays, baths and waste pipes above living rooms and kitchens. Perished silicone seals, cracked grout or a failed waste connection let water seep through the ceiling void, staining plasterboard and skirting below long before residents see obvious signs upstairs.

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.
