Leak to dry to treated, one company in Kennington

Kennington's housing stock ranges from Georgian terraces around Cleaver Square and Kennington Park Road to converted Victorian houses, purpose-built mansion blocks and Duchy of Cornwall estate properties, alongside mid-century council blocks near Vauxhall and the Oval. This mix of ageing pipework, flat-roofed extensions and multiple flats stacked within single freeholds means hidden leaks often affect several households before being traced.

Common leaks in Kennington homes

Converted terraces and flats above flats

Many Georgian and Victorian houses around Kennington Park Road and Cleaver Square have been split into flats, so bathrooms and kitchens sit directly above neighbours' ceilings. A perished shower seal or a slow supply pipe leak can travel through old timber floors for weeks, staining ceilings and softening plaster in the flat below before anyone realises water is escaping.

Flat roofs on mansion blocks and extensions

The mansion blocks and rear extensions common around Kennington Oval and Vauxhall often have flat or low-pitch roofs covered in felt or asphalt. Once these coverings age or crack, rainwater tracks along joists and can travel some distance from the original defect, so damp patches inside frequently appear well away from the actual point of failure.

Ageing pipework in Duchy and ex-council stock

Properties on the Duchy of Cornwall estate and the postwar council blocks near Kennington Park mix original lead or copper pipework with later plastic repairs. Joints between different eras of plumbing are a common source of slow, hidden escapes of water behind boxed-in pipework, often only found once flooring or skirting begins to swell.

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.

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.
