Leak to dry to treated, one company in Kew

Kew's housing stock ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Kew Green and Mortlake Road to riverside conversions near Kew Bridge and later interwar semis further out. Many period homes have been split into flats or extended with flat-roofed additions, while proximity to the Thames means older lead and cast iron pipework. This mix of ageing plumbing, converted bathrooms and flat roofs creates multiple routes for hidden water leaks.

Areas of Kew we cover

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

Common leaks in Kew homes

Flat roof extensions above kitchens and bathrooms

Many Kew terraces near Kew Green and Mortlake Road have single storey flat roof extensions housing kitchens or bathrooms. Felt and asphalt coverings degrade over time, and once the waterproof layer fails, rainwater tracks along joists before showing as a ceiling stain. By the time damp appears indoors, insulation and timber below may already be saturated.

Converted flats with stacked bathrooms

Period houses around Kew Gardens station and North Sheen have often been divided into flats, with bathrooms plumbed in above one another. A perished shower seal or cracked tray grouting on an upper floor can send water seeping into the flat below for weeks, damaging ceilings and wiring before residents realise the source is a neighbour's bathroom rather than their own.

Ageing supply pipework in older properties

Victorian and Edwardian homes near Kew Bridge and Old Deer Park frequently retain original or early replacement pipework, sometimes routed under solid floors or within thick masonry walls. Corrosion or a failed joint on these buried runs releases water gradually into the fabric of the building, often surfacing as a damp patch or musty smell long after the leak actually started.

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.
