Leak to dry to treated, one company in Kensal Green

Kensal Green's housing mix runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the cemetery to converted flats above parades of shops and newer canal-side developments near the Grand Union Canal. This blend of old lead and cast-iron plumbing, shared soil stacks in subdivided houses, and flat-roofed rear extensions makes hidden escapes of water a recurring issue across the area.

Common leaks in Kensal Green homes

Victorian terrace bathrooms and floor leaks

Many Kensal Green terraces have had bathrooms fitted above kitchens or reception rooms as part of loft or rear extension works. Old lead traps, poorly sealed shower trays and ageing waste pipes can leak slowly through suspended timber floors, soaking joists and ceiling plaster below long before staining becomes visible, often only found once the ceiling begins to sag or discolour.

Flat roof extensions and rear additions

Rear kitchen extensions and loft conversions are common across Kensal Rise and North Kensington, many finished with flat felt or GRP roofs. Perished flashing, splits at upstands and blocked outlets let rainwater track along joists and down internal walls, appearing as damp patches metres away from the actual defect and often mistaken for rising damp rather than a failed roof.

Converted flats with shared plumbing runs

Larger houses split into flats near Kensal Green and Queens Park share communal stacks, cold water risers and boiler pipework running through neighbouring ceilings and party walls. A perished washer or corroded joint in one flat can silently saturate the unit below, with water spreading along concealed pipe runs before any resident notices a leak has occurred.

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.
